OpenAI and The Associated Press (AP) have announced a partnership to explore the potential of generative AI in news products and services. Under the agreement, OpenAI will license a portion of AP's text archive, while AP will gain access to OpenAI's advanced technology and product expertise.

The collaboration aims to responsibly create and use AI systems connected to media and the information economy. Despite its cautious approach to generative AI, AP has been using automation in journalism since 2014 and will now allow OpenAI to train its AI models on AP's news stories for the next two years.
