As the integration of artificial intelligence into the news industry accelerates, corporate media benefits from being AI training fodder while many right-leaning publishers are left in the cold, leading to ChatGPT and other popular AI tools spitting out left-leaning answers that The Atlantic favors. Financial Times, and other left-wing media sources.
Semaphores Reports The rapid advances in generative AI have sent shockwaves through the media industry, sending companies scrambling to adapt to the changing landscape. But major AI players such as OpenAI appear to prefer partnering with corporate media over their more conservative, independent counterparts.
OpenAI recently announced a five-year deal to license content from News Corp. media outlets and train its AI models. The move marks the first time that the company has signed a five-year deal with Axel Springer, owner of The Associated Press, Politico and Business Insider. Financial Times.
Notably absent from these alliances are independent publishers that routinely outperform their corporate media peers on social media, particularly conservative outlets like Breitbart News and the Daily Caller. Neil Patel, co-founder of the Daily Caller and publisher of the Daily Caller News Foundation, expressed concern about the apparent bias in AI training, saying, “It’s troubling, but not surprising, that these left-leaning tech companies are ignoring the news media trusted by half of Americans and solely focusing on training their AI models using left-leaning news sources.”
The implications of this shift are profound. As consumers turn to AI for news summaries and information, the machines’ output will be heavily influenced by the data they are trained on. By partnering with primarily left-wing establishment media, AI companies are effectively solidifying the political and cultural power of these organizations, almost ensuring that artificial intelligence will only be taught left-wing rhetoric and beliefs.
OpenAI’s public actions provide a glimpse into which news publishers it considers itself on side. In addition to the aforementioned partnerships, the company is in talks with CNN’s business and digital teams, The Washington Post The company has expressed interest in “significant AI partnerships,” and Time CEO Jess Sibley said the company is in “active, ongoing, positive discussions” with OpenAI.
