AI startup’s announcement follows similar deals with The Financial Times, the Associated Press and News Corp.
OpenAI has struck a multi-year deal with Condé Nast to allow the Microsoft-backed startup to use content from media brands including The New Yorker, Vogue, GQ, Vanity Fair and Bon Appétit.
Under the agreement announced on Tuesday, OpenAI will have permission to display content from Condé Nast’s stable of media properties in its artificial intelligence-powered products, including ChatGPT and its SearchGPT prototype.
Sam Altman-led OpenAI and Condé Nast did not disclose the terms of the deal.
“We’re committed to working with Condé Nast and other news publishers to ensure that as AI plays a larger role in news discovery and delivery, it maintains accuracy, integrity, and respect for quality reporting,” OpenAI COO Brad Lightcap said in a statement posted on the startup’s website.
In a memo to staff, Condé Nast CEO Roger Lynch said it is important to embrace new technologies and protect intellectual property at a time when tech companies are eroding media companies’ ability to monetize content.
