OpenAI, the AI titan, ventures into the local news scene through a partnership with Axios, a newsletter-oriented media entity. This three-year alliance sees OpenAI bankrolling Axios’ push to extend its local newsletters to Pittsburgh, Kansas City in Missouri, Boulder in Colorado, and Huntsville in Alabama.
This move sets a precedent as OpenAI’s maiden financial support for a media firm’s newsroom following several content-distribution and licensing agreements with numerous outlets, the specifics of which remain confidential. OpenAI’s list of media associates includes renowned publishers like Vox Media, The Atlantic, and the Financial Times.
In an online post, OpenAI shared its vision of aiding publishers, stating, “In our work’s upcoming phase, which includes our latest coalition with Axios, we concentrate on assisting publishers to incorporate our tools more efficiently to serve their missions and their businesses.” TechCrunch has reached out to OpenAI seeking additional information on this groundbreaking collaboration.
