The New York Times has entered a licensing agreement with Amazon to allow the tech company access to its editorial content for AI training purposes. This move comes nearly two years after the Times sued OpenAI and Microsoft for copyright infringement, alleging unauthorized use of its articles for AI model training. This agreement is significant as it's the first of its kind for Amazon and signals a new era of collaboration between news publishers and tech companies. The details of the deal remain undisclosed but could impact various Amazon experiences, including Alexa.
Nearly two years after suing OpenAI and Microsoft for copyright infringement, The New York Times has agreed to license its editorial content to Amazon to train the tech giant's AI platforms.
The company also noted that Amazon's use of The Times's editorial content could extend to Alexa software on its smart speakers.
OpenAI has signed multiple similar deals with publishers, including The Washington Post, The Atlantic, The Guardian, NewsCorp, Axel Springer, and more.
This is also the first time The Times is agreeing to a generative AI-focused licensing agreement, and it comes after the outlet sued OpenAI and Microsoft in 2023 after accusing the companies of using millions of articles published by The Times to train its AI models without consent or compensation.
