OpenAI continues to strike deals with major news publications like Time, granting access to decades of content for ChatGPT to utilize. Companies like The New York Times have also made similar agreements, raising concerns about AI’s impact on journalism.

Time, a centenarian in the news industry, has signed a multi-year deal with OpenAI, providing a vast amount of historical news data. Financial details of the deal remain undisclosed, unlike the $250 million deal with News Corp.

Despite controversy, Time claims the partnership aims to reach a wider, younger audience through ChatGPT. The AI will feature Time’s content in responses and redirect traffic to the publication’s website, potentially increasing site visits.

While the integration of AI into news distribution is inevitable, skepticism remains as to whether readers will seek out original sources or continue to rely on AI-generated summaries. Time and other publishers are navigating this new terrain cautiously.
