American company Apple has begun negotiations with major publishers and media organizations to get permission to use their content to train a system with generative artificial intelligence that the company is currently developing.
According to Ukrinform, The New York Times is reporting on this issue.
The tech giant is said to have offered multi-year deals worth at least $50 million to use its news archives.
News organizations contacted by Apple include Vogue magazine and The New Yorker and The Daily Beast newspapers.
The conversations are an early example of how Apple is trying to catch up with rivals in the race to develop generative artificial intelligence that allows computers to create images and communicate like humans.
Microsoft, OpenAI, Google, Meta, and other companies have already released chatbots and other products based on this technology.
But Apple is virtually “absent” from the public debate about AI. Siri, the company’s virtual voice assistant, hasn’t changed much in the decade since its launch.
As reported by Ukrinform, the American company Intel has introduced several new chips, including the Gaudi3 semiconductor with artificial intelligence.
