OpenAI, under the leadership of CEO Sam Altman, has announced a significant multi-year content partnership with Condé Nast. This agreement will integrate Condé Nast's esteemed brands, including Vogue and The New Yorker, into OpenAI’s products such as ChatGPT and the newly introduced SearchGPT prototype. The financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.
This move is part of OpenAI’s broader strategy to establish content partnerships with major media organizations. Recent deals include collaborations with Time magazine, the Financial Times, Axel Springer (owner of Business Insider), Le Monde, and Prisa Media. These partnerships are crucial for training and improving AI models, but they also come amid ongoing legal disputes with some media entities, such as the New York Times and the Intercept, which have sued OpenAI over copyright concerns.
Brad Lightcap, COO of OpenAI, emphasized the company's commitment to working with news publishers to uphold accuracy and integrity as AI becomes increasingly involved in news discovery and delivery. Condé Nast CEO Roger Lynch highlighted that this partnership represents a significant step towards addressing the revenue challenges faced by digital media companies due to the erosion of their content monetization by tech giants.
OpenAI’s SearchGPT, launched in July, aims to compete with established search engines like Google by providing real-time information from the internet. The company plans to use feedback from its media partners to refine and enhance the performance and design of SearchGPT.
