TIME has formed a “strategic partnership” with OpenAI, the tech company behind ChatGPT. According to a press release from TIME, the partnership will provide OpenAI “access to current and historic content from [its] extensive archives from the last 101 years to enhance its products and display in response to user inquiries—featuring a citation and link back to the original source on Time.com.”
“We’re partnering with TIME to make it easier for people to access news content through our AI tools, and to support reputable journalism by providing proper attribution to original sources,” OpenAI Chief Operating Officer Brad Lightcap said.
In return, OpenAI will provide TIME access to its “technology to develop new products for its audiences, along with the opportunity to provide vital feedback and share practical applications to refine and enhance the delivery of journalism.”
“Throughout our 101-year history, TIME has embraced innovation to ensure that the delivery of our trusted journalism evolves alongside technology,” TIME Chief Operating Officer Mark Howard stated.
“This partnership with OpenAI advances our mission to expand access to trusted information globally as we continue to embrace innovative new ways of bringing TIME’s journalism to audiences globally.”
