He stated that news is quite popular on ChatGPT's search, highlighting how models like ChatGPT help in finding information quickly and with context, compared to traditional search engine results of 'ten blue links.' OpenAI will remain under the control of its non-profit parent(REUTERS) As reported by Press Gazette, Rubin also described how ChatGPT is now becoming a part of many users' lives, with more than 500 million active users. These comments come at a time when news organisations are partnering with OpenAI, while some have sued the company for allegedly using their content to train its AI models, including those that power its popular chatbot, ChatGPT.

For those uninitiated, Search is a new product for the AI giant, with ChatGPT allowing users to search for whatever they like. Now, users can perform searches like, "What did Shah Rukh Khan wear at the Met Gala 2025?" and OpenAI ChatGPT will provide a detailed answer based on what it finds on the internet, pulling from various sources including news articles. These results are contextual answers, and this means, unlike traditional search engines like Google, you may not need to filter through multiple links at all. Tom Rubin On ChatGPT Search's Growth Regarding ChatGPT's search functionality, Rubin said that while it hasn't been long since Search debuted, it has been able to offer accurate and useful results to users.. He stated that the search tool has become one of the most important features within ChatGPT. Rubin also added that current affairs are a significant part of the ChatGPT experience. 'While search has only been available for a few months, early signs are promising. Clear attribution and links and the resulting clicks that we're driving to publisher sites are trending upward month over month,' Rubin added. Rubin further described how AI is assisting journalism, stating that the news industry has had to reshape itself continually as technology progressed. He shared that newsrooms are now using ChatGPT to help with the journalism process, and 'enabling journalists to reach audiences where they are.'

AI developers should counter misinformation and protect fact-based news, global media groups say
GENEVA (AP) — A global group of broadcasters and publishers is calling on artificial intelligence developers to make sure their technology serves the public by helping to counter misinformation and protect the value of fact-based news. The Geneva-based European Broadcasting Union, an association of public broadcasters that's also known for running the popular Eurovision Song Contest, says it and the World Association of News Publishers and other partners want to cooperate with tech companies behind AI. The group says thousands of public and private media in broadcast, print and online formats have joined the 'News Integrity in the Age of AI' initiative, whose five core steps were announced Monday at the World News Media Congress in Krakow, Poland. The initiative is calling for news content to only be used in generative AI models with the authorization of the content originator, and for clarity about attribution and accuracy. It says the original news source behind AI-generated material must be 'apparent and accessible." 'Organizations and institutions that see truth and facts as the desirable core of a democracy and the foundation of an empowered society should now come together at one table to shape the next era,' said Ladina Heimgartner, president of the publishers association and CEO of Switzerland's Ringier Media. Among the media affiliates along with EBU and WAN-IFRA — as the association of news publishers is known — are Latin American broadcasters association AIL; the Asia-Pacific Broadcasting Union; and the North American Broadcasters Association, which counts Fox, Paramount, NBC Universal and PBS among its members. Since AI surged into public awareness with the launch of OpenAI's ChatGPT in November 2022, legacy media have grappled with how best to use the technology, and whether to cooperate with or even combat the companies behind it. The New York Times and other newspapers have filed a copyright lawsuit against OpenAI and business partner Microsoft. The Times has said the tech companies have threatened its livelihood by effectively stealing billions of dollars' worth of work by its journalists. Many news outlets have struck deals with OpenAI, including the Associated Press. which has a licensing and technology deal with it as well as with Google for delivery of news through its Gemini AI chatbot.
