Insiders: Deeply aware of the existential crisis brought by AI, large US news organizations rarely seek huddles
Executives and lawyers from several large news and magazine publishers, including News Corp, The Wall Street Journal's parent company, The New York Times and Vox Media, have discussed forming a new coalition to address the impact of AI on the industry, according to people familiar with the matter, but these disagreements could create obstacles to the alliance's agenda, as different companies often have different priorities.
Collaborations between large, competitive publishers are rare, suggesting that generative AI poses an existential threat to the industry.
In recent months, publishing executives have begun to study the extent to which their content is being used to "train" AI tools like ChatGPT, how they should be compensated and what legal options are available, as previously reported by The Wall Street Journal.
Of particular concern is the fact that these tools provide information directly to users, eliminating the need for users to link to information sources, such as articles.
