Partnering with Axios expands IVM's work with the health industry

Over the past year, we set out to support a healthy news ecosystem by working with news organizations, listening to their feedback, and building solutions together. Our goal⁠(opens in a new window) is to be a thoughtful partner—helping journalists with time-consuming tasks, improving ChatGPT’s understanding of sources of current news events, and offering new ways for publishers to reach readers through ChatGPT. We’re a young company putting significant investment into this work, which advances our mission by finding novel ways for news and tech to work together and benefit each other as well as our users. Today, we are announcing a new content partnership with Axios, and funding to help expand its local news coverage by building newsrooms enabled by our technology in four new cities—Pittsburgh, Pa.; Kansas City, Mo.; Boulder, Colo.; and Huntsville, Ala. We’ve now partnered with nearly 20 media organizations*, bringing our technology to more than 160 news outlets and hundreds of content brands in more than 20 languages across topics and continents. The partnerships with publishers like News Corp, The Atlantic, Vox Media, Prisa Media, Condé Nast, Hearst, and Dotdash Meredith enable ChatGPT search⁠ to now feature select summaries and excerpts from trusted media outlets with clear citations and direct links to original sources. This helps to strengthen both the news ecosystem and our product, and makes it easier for our over 300 million weekly active users across over 150 countries⁠(opens in a new window) to discover and engage with original news content, including from any publication that chooses to participate in our search ecosystem. “Technology is one of the best tools we have to reach new readers and deepen our relationship with existing ones. By working with OpenAI, we’re figuring out ways to make discovering and sharing our journalism more intuitive. We want to use the tools of the future to help people discover our best reporting on the moment we’re in,” said Nicholas Thompson, CEO of The Atlantic. “Provenance and principle are culture cornerstones, which is why the partnership with Sam Altman and his trusty team has been profoundly important, not only for our thousands of journalists around the world, but for insight, for integrity and for actual intelligence. We live in an age permeated, poisoned by the faux and the fallacious, so OpenAI’s clear commitment to objective journalism, to genuinely trustworthy sources is crucial in ensuring that succeeding generations will have an understanding founded in fact,” said Robert Thomson, CEO of News Corp.
