After license deal:

ChatGPT trains with texts from the “Financial Times”

The popular chatbot ChatGPT will also be trained with articles from the "Financial Times" in future. The developer company OpenAI has concluded a license agreement with the British business newspaper. According to OpenAI, ChatGPT will also be able to answer users' questions with information from Financial Times articles, including links to the website.

In recent months, the German Axel Springer Group and the French newspaper "Le Monde", among others, have concluded agreements with OpenAI. The "New York Times", on the other hand, went to court in December with the accusation that ChatGPT had been trained with articles from the newspaper without permission.

ChatGPT triggered a hype about artificial intelligence (AI) over a year ago. Such AI chatbots are trained with huge amounts of information and can formulate texts at the linguistic level of a human, write software code and summarize information. The principle behind this is that they estimate word by word how a sentence should continue.
