John Elkann, Chairman of GEDI, said, “The partnership signed with OpenAI is part of GEDI’s digital transformation journey and recognizes its leadership in producing high-quality content within the Italian media landscape. From today, ChatGPT users will be able to rely on articles and in-depth analyses from our publications to obtain top quality information on a wide range of topics, with a special focus on the Italian context.”

Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, said, “It’s important we work with publishers around the world so everyone can have access to accurate, reliable information in their own language. This partnership acknowledges GEDI's high-quality journalism and enhances the ChatGPT experience for millions of people in Italy and around the world.”
