The New York Times has agreed to license its editorial content to Amazon for training its AI platforms.
The deal includes providing Times editorial content like news articles, material from NYT Cooking, and The Athletic for Amazon's customer experiences.
Amazon may use The Times's content on its Alexa software, and provide direct links to Times products for a full reading experience.
This is the first generative AI-focused licensing arrangement for The Times after accusing OpenAI and Microsoft of using their articles without consent.
