LONDON: ChatGPT maker OpenAI is in discussions with media firms CNN, Fox Corp. and Time to license their work, Bloomberg News reported on Wednesday, citing people familiar with the matter.
The artificial intelligence startup is looking to license articles from Warner Bros. Discovery Inc’s CNN to train ChatGPT and also feature CNN’s content in its products, the report said.
This comes as OpenAI and its financial backer Microsoft are facing multiple lawsuits accusing them of using copyrighted works to train artificial-intelligence (AI) products.
The latest case has been filed in the Manhattan federal court by a pair of nonfiction authors, Nicholas Basbanes and Nicholas Gage, who say the companies misused their work to train the AI models.
The New York Times, late last month, sued the companies accusing them of using millions of the newspaper’s articles without permission to help train chatbots to provide information to readers.
OpenAI did not immediately respond to a Reuters or Arab News request for comment.

Hezbollah says Israeli strike killed Al-Manar TV presenter in southern Lebanon
- The Israeli military said later on Monday that Al-Din was a Hezbollah militant who recently worked to rehabilitate the group’s artillery capabilities in southern Lebanon
The Lebanese armed group Hezbollah said on Monday that an Israeli strike in the country’s south killed TV presenter Ali Nour Al-Din, who worked for the group’s affiliated Al-Manar television station.
The group said the killing portends “the danger of Israel’s extended escalations (in Lebanon) to include the media community.”
The Israeli military said later on Monday that Al-Din was a Hezbollah militant who recently worked to rehabilitate the group’s artillery capabilities in southern Lebanon.
Israel and Lebanon agreed to a US-brokered ceasefire in 2024 to end more than a year of fighting between Israel and Hezbollah, which culminated in Israeli strikes that severely weakened the Iran-backed militant group. Since then, the sides have traded accusations over ceasefire violations.
Lebanon has faced growing pressure from the US and Israel to disarm Hezbollah. The group’s leaders fear that Israel could dramatically escalate strikes across the battered country, aiming to push the Lebanese government for quicker action to confiscate Hezbollah’s arsenal.
