Google reportedly has agreed to pay News Corp, owner of The Wall Street Journal, up to $6 million annually to develop new AI-related content and products.

Search and AI companies such as OpenAI are looking to partner with news organizations to license their archived content for training chatbots.

The deal is part of a longstanding partnership between Google and News Corp, the report said, citing The Information, a News Corp employee, and another person who is close to the deal.

But a News Corp spokesperson told Reuters the company does not have an AI content licensing deal with Google, although it does have several partnerships with Google across its businesses.

Google has not yet responded to a request from Media Daily News for more information

Earlier this week, a similar deal was struck between OpenAI and news publishers such as the Financial Times and Axel Springer.

The deals are not limited to traditional publishing.

A similar deal earlier this year was forged between Google and Reddit.
