OpenAI has reached a cooperation agreement with Condé Nast Group, authorized to display content from media such as "Vogue"

According to the financial news app Zhitong Caijing, OpenAI announced a partnership agreement with Condé Nast on Tuesday. Through this collaboration, the Microsoft-supported artificial intelligence company will be able to showcase content from media such as Vogue, The New Yorker, Condé Nast Traveler, GQ, Architectural Digest, Vanity Fair, Wired, and Bon Appétit in its products.

In a blog post, OpenAI wrote, "As we roll out the SearchGPT prototype, we are testing new search features to make finding information and reliable sources faster and more intuitive." OpenAI stated that they are combining dialogue models with web information to provide users with quick, timely answers along with clear, relevant sources.

OpenAI also added that the SearchGPT prototype provides direct links to news stories, and the company plans to "integrate the essence of these features into ChatGPT in the future."

This is the latest trend of media and artificial intelligence startups like OpenAI partnering for content deals. For example, in July of this year, Perplexity AI launched a revenue-sharing model for publishers to address plagiarism allegations. Media and content platforms such as Fortune, Time, Entrepreneur, Texas Forum, Der Spiegel, and WordPress.com became the first partners of the company's "Publisher Program."

In June, OpenAI announced a multi-year content collaboration agreement with Time magazine. Through this agreement, OpenAI will have access to current and archived articles from Time magazine's over 100-year history, allowing ChatGPT to display Time's content when responding to user queries and using this content to "enhance its products," possibly including training its AI models.

Similar collaborations were reached in May with News Corp., allowing OpenAI to access current and archived articles from publications such as The Wall Street Journal, MarketWatch, Barron's, and the New York Post. Also in May, Reddit announced a partnership with OpenAI, allowing the company to use Reddit's content to train its AI models.

Meanwhile, as AI-generated content becomes more common, other news publishers and media organizations are actively protecting their businesses from infringement.

In June of this year, the non-profit news organization Center for Investigative Reporting, the oldest in American history, sued OpenAI and its main supporter Microsoft in federal court, alleging copyright infringement. This lawsuit echoes similar lawsuits from publications such as The New York Times, Chicago Tribune, and New York Daily News.

In December of last year, The New York Times filed a lawsuit against Microsoft and OpenAI, accusing them of intellectual property infringement, claiming that The New York Times' news content was used in the training data for ChatGPT. According to documents filed with the Southern District of New York federal court, the newspaper plans to demand "billions of dollars in statutory and actual damages" from Microsoft and OpenAI for the "unlawful replication and use of The New York Times' unique and valuable works." In response, OpenAI disagrees with the accusations made by The New York Times.

In April of this year, The Chicago Tribune and seven other newspapers also filed similar lawsuits
