Stuff's position on Open AI

Stuff Group has joined other leading news organisations around the world in restricting Open AI from using its content to power artificial intelligence tool Chat GPT.

A growing number of media companies globally have taken action to block access to Open AI bots from crawling and scraping content from their news sites.

Stuff CEO Laura Maxwell says: "The scraping of any content from Stuff or its news masthead sites for commercial gain has always been against our policy."

Stuff has also updated its site terms and conditions to expressly bar the use of its content to train AI models owned by any other company.
