Meta has forged commercial AI data agreements with several news publishers, including CNN, Fox News, Le Monde Group, People Inc., The Daily Caller, The Washington Examiner, and USA Today. These partnerships enable Meta to deliver real-time news and updates via its AI chatbot, drawing from diverse content sources and linking directly to publishers' articles.
The move aims to enhance Meta's AI services amid increasing competition in the AI market. By integrating timely and relevant content, Meta seeks to attract more users to its AI platform. The company will continue to explore new partnerships and features.
Meta's renewed investment in news content comes after previously reducing compensation to news organisations. The current agreements reflect a strategic shift towards leveraging real-time, verified news to bolster its AI chat tools and remain competitive in the rapidly evolving AI landscape.
