OpenAI, led by Sam Altman, has partnered with major news outlets like The Atlantic and Vox Media to integrate professional journalism into its AI products, including ChatGPT.

The collaboration with Vox Media aims to enhance ChatGPT with reliable journalism content while avoiding copyright issues through content licensing.

This partnership is part of a broader trend where media companies work with AI firms to improve content delivery while maintaining journalistic integrity.

Despite facing a copyright lawsuit from The New York Times, OpenAI continues to pursue partnerships with other news organizations such as News Corp and Axel Springer.

The evolving relationship between media and AI raises concerns about the impact on original source traffic and the ethical implications for the industry.
