The New York Times Strikes AI Licensing Deal With Amazon
In a surprise deal, The New York Times said Thursday that it has struck an AI licensing agreement with the tech giant Amazon, a deal that will bring Times content to the tech giant’s AI-powered devices and services.
The agreement will also allow Times content to be used to train Amazon’s proprietary foundation AI models. The agreement covers news editorial, cooking, and The Athletic, and would bring that content to devices such as Alexa.
“The collaboration will make The New York Times’ original content more accessible to customers across Amazon products and services, including direct links to Times products, and underscores the companies’ shared commitment to serving customers with global news and perspectives within Amazon’s AI products,” the company said in announcing the deal.
The deal is a surprise because the Times has mostly pushed back against AI firms looking to leverage the news outlet’s content.
