Generative AI models such as OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Google’s Gemini need data, and the content creators supplying that data want to get paid. This is the first episode of “The New AI Data Trade,” a special two-part series diving into how data makes its way from a publisher or creator to be used by an AI model, and the conflicts that have arisen along the way. In this first episode, we explore how publishers have grown concerned over web scraping. This has led to lawsuits, with publishers such as Reddit, the New York Times and New Corp.’s Dow Jones suing to protect their data.
