The popular chatbot ChatGPT will also be trained with articles from the Financial Times in future, ChatGPT provider OpenAI announced on Monday.
The artificial intelligence developer has concluded a licence agreement with the British business newspaper for this purpose, it said. ChatGPT will also be able to answer users' questions with information from Financial Times articles, including links to the the publication's website.
In recent months, the German Axel Springer Group and the French newspaper Le Monde signed deals with OpenAI. The New York Times, on the other hand, took the company to court in December, alleging that ChatGPT had been trained with the newspaper's articles without permission.
ChatGPT fuelled the hype surrounding artificial intelligence over a year ago.
Such generative 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 the chatbots estimate word for word how a sentence should continue, on the basis of probability.
