Vogue content coming to ChatGPT in new deal

OpenAI has inked a deal with publishing giant Condé Nast, marking yet another partnership between the AI company and major media outlets. Previous collaborations include agreements with Time magazine, the Financial Times, and the Associated Press.

The new deal will enable OpenAI’s ChatGPT and its search engine, SearchGPT, to display content from popular publications like Vogue, The New Yorker, GQ, and other well-known Condé Nast titles.

Media content remains highly sought after by tech companies looking to train their AI models. However, some media organizations, including The New York Times and the Chicago Tribune, are resisting these trends and pursuing legal action to protect their content.

Neither OpenAI nor Condé Nast disclosed the financial terms of the agreement.

"We are committed to working with Condé Nast and other news publishers to ensure that as AI plays a larger role in news discovery and distribution, it maintains accuracy, integrity, and respect for quality journalism," said Brad Lightcap, OpenAI's Chief Operating Officer.

The rise of social media and digital platforms has challenged the traditional business models of media organizations. “Our partnership with OpenAI helps recover some of that lost revenue, allowing us to continue protecting and investing in journalism and our creative efforts,” said Condé Nast CEO Roger Lynch.

Last month, OpenAI launched its AI-driven search engine, SearchGPT. The company stated that it is gathering feedback from industry partners to further develop the platform.

Analysts predict that AI-powered chatbots will become a key component of future internet search engines. In response, Google, which controls over 90% of the global search market, is also working to integrate AI tools into its products.
