$NYT &
$AMZN in multi-year deal that “will bring Times editorial content to a variety of Amazon customer experiences,”
The agreement also includes content from the newspaper’s other properties like NYT Cooking & The Athletic.
“This will include real-time display of summaries and short excerpts of Times content within Amazon products and services, such as Alexa, & training Amazon’s proprietary AI foundation models,”
NYT sued
$MSFT & OpenAI in 2023 for copyright infringement, accusing them of abusing the newspaper’s IP to train large language models.
Both Microsoft & OpenAI sought unsuccessfully to have the case thrown out. Other news publications have joined the Times in suing Microsoft & OpenAI for copyright violations, including the New York Daily News & the Center for Investigative Reporting.
