As part of the collaboration, ChatGPT users will gain access to LSEG’s licensed financial market data and news content.
London Stock Exchange Group (LSEG) has today (3 December) announced a partnership with artificial intelligence giant OpenAI to integrate its financial data and analytics into ChatGPT.
As part of the collaboration, the company will grant access to news content and financial market data licensed through LSEG products such as Workspace and Financial Analytics to ChatGPT users and enterprise customers.
The company’s data and content will be made available through a Model Context Protocol (MCP) connector that ChatGPT users will be able to access through a phased roll-out beginning with LSEG’s Financial Analytics service – with additional data categories and functions to become available over time.
MCP is an open-source standard for connecting AI applications to external systems and can be used to connect AI models to data sources, tools and workflows.
LSEG’s MCP connector is expected to be live in ChatGPT from the week of 8 December.
Additionally, ChatGPT Enterprise will also be available for an initial 4,000 LSEG employees as part of the deal. According to LSEG, the company will work with OpenAI’s technical success teams to ensure successful adoption of the latest frontier AI models and product capabilities.
“LSEG’s market data and analytics power decisions across global finance,” said Ashley Kramer, chief revenue officer at OpenAI. “Integrating that strength into ChatGPT makes it even easier for customers to ask complex questions and move quickly with confidence.
“We’re proud to support LSEG as they bring richer insights to their clients and equip their own teams with more efficient, AI-driven workflows.”
Today’s partnership is a part of the financial data company’s ‘LSEG Everywhere’ strategy, in which LSEG is focusing on delivering licensed data to scale AI in financial services.
OpenAI has made a slew of partnerships in recent months.
In October, the AI giant inked a major infrastructure agreement with chipmaker AMD to power OpenAI’s AI infrastructure across multiple generations of AMD Instinct GPUs.
At the end of October, the company struck a deal with PayPal to make instant payments available to buyers within ChatGPT.
In early November, OpenAI signed a $38bn deal with Amazon’s cloud subsidiary Amazon Web Services (AWS) to run and scale its AI workloads for seven years.
Less than two weeks later, the AI company announced partnerships with the Irish Government, start-up hub Dogpatch Labs and young entrepreneurs programme Patch to support AI skills and SME growth in Ireland.
