“We’re looking forward to seeing you in the world,” said Peter Elkins Williams, head of global partnerships at the Washington Post. “For CHATGPT users to provide impactful reports at their fingertips build on their commitment to accessing where, when and when the audience wants it.”

“The Washington Post’s partnership with OpenaI is another clear signal that the future of journalism is increasingly intertwined with generative AI. It is encouraging for legacy media to play an active role in shaping the way content is used and credited with AI tools.
The collaboration builds on recent AI-driven initiatives in posts, including proprietary generation tools such as Ask the Post AI and Climate Answers, as well as newsroom systems such as HayStacker. This post, which relies on the rest of the LLM, continues to explore ways that AI can expand access and deepen its involvement with reports.

As more media organizations become involved in AI tools, collaborations like this may help set standards for how content is shared, credited and trusted in the digital age.
