The creator of Artificial Intelligence (AI) chatbot ChatGPT OpenAI on Monday signed a partnership pact with the British company Financial Times (FT) to license its content and develop artificial intelligence tools.
As part of this partnership, the global news publisher will license its content to Sam Altman’s OpenAI to facilitate create generative artificial intelligence technology that can create text, images and code indistinguishable from human creations.
“Our partnership and ongoing dialogue with the FT is about finding innovative and productive ways for AI to empower news organizations and journalists, and to enrich the ChatGPT experience with world-class real-time journalism for millions of people around the world,” Brad Lightcap, OpenAI chief operating officer , the statement said.

“This is an significant agreement in many respects. It recognizes the value of our award-winning journalism and gives us insight into how content is revealed using artificial intelligence,” said FT Group CEO John Ridding.
OpenAI has entered into multiple agreements with news organizations to license their content for training AI models.
Axel Springer, publisher of several media outlets including Business Insider, Politico and European publications Bild and Welt, has signed a similar agreement with OpenAI to extract data from its articles.
Last December, The Fresh York Times sued OpenAI and Microsoft, alleging that the tech companies used millions of articles to build the models underlying ChatGPT without proper permission.
In the lawsuit, the company said it had been in licensing talks with Microsoft and OpenAI for months, but neither had resulted in a resolution.
