Help
ChatGPT is a program of so-called generative artificial intelligence: a chatbot can generate its own texts, images, and other content on demand.
To date, it has mostly had access to publicly available mass data on the Internet.
At the same time, authors, artists, and the media have repeatedly criticized OpenAI and other AI developers for using copyrighted materials without obtaining consent after requesting it.
The agreement with News Corp resolves this issue and gives the chatbot access to much more information that was not previously publicly available.
