Apple has initiated negotiations with major news and publishing organizations to secure permission for using their content in developing generative artificial intelligence systems. The company is reportedly offering multiyear deals, each worth at least $50 million, to license news article archives. Notable publishers contacted include Conde Nast, NBC News, and IAC, which owns People, the Daily Beast, and Better Homes and Gardens. While some publishers are reportedly lukewarm about the proposition, Apple aims to leverage generative AI technology to enhance functions in its devices, continuing the tech industry’s push towards integrating artificial intelligence. Apple has not yet responded to media inquiries.
