On Thursday, The New York Times announced a groundbreaking agreement with Amazon, licensing its editorial content for integration into Amazon's AI products. This marks the first licensing pact of its kind for the publisher, empowering Amazon to utilize content from The New York Times' news articles, NYT Cooking, and sports platform The Athletic. The content will be used for real-time display of summaries, excerpts, and the training of proprietary foundational AI models. Notably, The New York Times has previously engaged in copyright litigation against Microsoft and OpenAI.
