After Axel Springer and “Le Monde”, the British business newspaper is now also publishing its texts for the chatbot. From now on, the voice AI will also be fed texts from the “Financial Times”.
The popular chatbot ChatGPT will also be available in the future with articles from the “Financial Times”. The developer company OpenAI concluded a license agreement with the British business newspaper. ChatGPT should also be able to answer users’ questions with information from articles in the “Financial Times” including links to the website, as OpenAI announced.
In the past few months, the German group Axel Springer and the French newspaper “Le Monde”, among others, had concluded agreements with OpenAI. The New York Times, on the other hand, went to court in December with the allegation that ChatGPT had been taught articles from the newspaper without permission.
ChatGPT sparked the hype about artificial intelligence over a year ago. Such AI chatbots are trained with massive 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.
