Those partners include News Corp, the Associated Press, Axel Springer, The Atlantic, Dotdash Meredith, Financial Times, LeMonde, Prisa Media, Time, Vox Media and Condé Nast. In another camp are the New York Times and other newspapers, which have sued OpenAI as well as Microsoft, alleging the tech companies engaged in copyright infringement by using the publishers' content to train their AI systems. In a statement, Peter Elkins-Williams, head of global partnerships at the Washington Post, said, 'We're all in on meeting our audiences where they are. Ensuring ChatGPT users have our impactful reporting at their fingertips builds on our commitment to provide access where, how and when our audiences want it.'
