OpenAI may be in talks with some news outlets for content licensing deals

OpenAI is reportedly in negotiations with media companies including CNN, Fox Corp., and Time to license articles for training its ChatGPT. The discussions may also involve the use of video and image content. Time's CEO, Jessica Sibley, expressed optimism about reaching an agreement that reflects the fair value of their content. The New York Times (NYT) had previously sued OpenAI for copyright infringement, alleging that ChatGPT and Copilot were trained on copyrighted NYT articles, citing instances where the models directly quoted or paraphrased the articles. OpenAI is also facing a lawsuit from non-fiction authors including John Grisham, George R.R. Martin, and Jonathan Franzen.
