OpenAI strikes deal with Hearst to bring more news content to ChatGPT

OpenAI and Hearst Communications Inc. have struck a deal to bring content from the publisher’s suite of magazines and newspapers into chatbot ChatGPT, adding to a long list of partnerships the artificial intelligence startup has inked with media companies.

As part of the agreement, which was announced on Tuesday, Hearst will license content from Esquire, Cosmopolitan, Elle and more than 40 newspapers for use across OpenAI’s products. Hearst’s content will appear in ChatGPT with attribution to provide “transparency and easy access to the original Hearst sources,” the companies said.
