Aug 20 (Reuters) - Sam Altman-led OpenAI on Tuesday

announced a multi-year partnership with Condé Nast to display

content from its brands such as the Vogue and the New Yorker

within the AI startup's products, including ChatGPT and

SearchGPT prototype.

The Microsoft ( MSFT )-backed firm has signed similar deals

with the Time magazine, Financial Times, Business Insider-owner

Axel Springer, France's Le Monde and Spain's Prisa Media over

the past few months.

Brad Lightcap, chief operating officer at OpenAI, said the

company is committed to working with Condé Nast and other news

publishers to "ensure that as AI plays a larger role in news

discovery and delivery, it maintains accuracy, integrity, and

respect for quality reporting".

While some media companies like the New York Times and the

Intercept had previously sued OpenAI for using their articles,

these content partnerships are essential for training artificial

intelligence models.

OpenAI launched its AI-powered search engine SearchGPT in

July, with real-time access to information from the internet,

into a territory long dominated by Google.
