Amazon and The New York Times have entered a multi-year licensing agreement that brings the newspaper’s content onto Amazon’s artificial intelligence platforms, including Alexa and other Amazon products. The deal allows real-time summaries and excerpts from the Times, NYT Cooking, and The Athletic to be shown within Amazon services and used to train Amazon’s proprietary AI models. The specifics of the agreement haven’t been disclosed. This comes as more news organizations opt for licensing partnerships with tech companies rather than pursuing litigation for copyright infringement, with The Times still engaged in a lawsuit against Microsoft and OpenAI. Amazon continues to expand its generative AI offerings amid competition from companies like OpenAI and Google.
