OpenAI has entered into an agreement with the Financial Times - ChatGPT will now also search for answers in the publication's articles

Users of the OpenAI chatbot will now see summaries of articles and quotes with links to the Financial Times website.

OpenAI has signed an agreement with Financial Times for content licensing and the development of artificial intelligence tools. From now on, ChatGPT will search for answers in the publication's articles, each time adding a link to the source, writes The Verge.

Financial Times already uses the startup's AI products, including ChatGPT Enterprise. Last month, the site also released a beta version of a generative AI function based on Anthropic's large language model Claude - Ask FT, which allows subscribers to find information in the publication's articles.

Financial Times Group CEO John Ridding says that despite the partnership, the publication will maintain its commitment to "human journalism."

For OpenAI, this is not the first agreement with a news organization - the company has previously partnered with Axel Springer, the publisher of Business Insider, Politico, and European publications Bild and Welt; as well as the Associated Press news agency, which allows OpenAI to train its models on their data.

Reportedly, OpenAI offers $1 to $5 million for content licensing - significantly less compared to what companies like Apple offer.

Recall that in December of last year, The New York Times sued OpenAI and Microsoft for copyright infringement, claiming that ChatGPT "literally paraphrases the content" of the site. The Intercept, Raw Story and AlterNet filed a separate lawsuit against OpenAI and Microsoft with similar accusations in February.
