OpenAI is in a “tough spot” as it scrambles to avert a flood of copyright lawsuits from media outlets that could cripple the high-flying startup — or even shutter it for good, experts told The Post.
OpenAI’s ChatGPT and other AI chatbots have allegedly been using copyrighted news content to compete with media companies for eyeballs without giving publishers proper credit or compensation — an unauthorized practice that experts say could devastate the traditional media business if it goes unchecked.
In an effort to keep the peace, OpenAI — whose CEO Sam Altman recently returned to the helm following a short-lived coup by the company’s board — has reportedly engaged in talks with several prominent media firms, including CNN and Fox Corp., on deals to pay for access to content that can be used to train its popular chatbot.
OpenAI already announced content deals with the Associated Press and Axel Springer.
