OpenAI will pay DotDash Meredith at least $16 million per year to license its content


The digital media company Dotdash Meredith will receive at least $16 million per year from OpenAI to license its content. ChatGPT will be trained on its various publications.

The “variable” component will be calculated in the future, according to a recent earnings call led by the chief operating and financial officer of Dotdash Meredith’s parent company IAC. Dotdash Meredith will license its content for OpenAI to train ChatGPT, but the publisher will also use the AI company’s models to boost its in-house ad-targeting tool. The entity has been sued by everyone from The New York Times to comedians like Sarah Silverman, all accusing it of using content without permission or any kind of payout.
