"Meta has signed commercial AI data agreements with news publishers to offer real-time global, entertainment, and breaking news on Meta AI, its AI chatbot. Now, when users ask Meta AI news-related questions, it will surface information and links that draw from different content sources to help users discover timely and relevant content, the company announced on Friday. These responses will also include links to articles, so users can visit publishers' websites to learn more."
"Meta is partnering with CNN, Fox News, Fox Sports, Le Monde Group, the People Inc. portfolio of media brands, The Daily Caller, The Washington Examiner, and USA Today. The company plans to add new partnerships in the future. The move comes as Meta shifted away from making its platforms hubs for news. For example, it killed Facebook's "News" tab in 2024. Additionally, Meta stopped compensating news publishers in 2022, but is now doing so to help supercharge its AI chatbot with real-time access to news."
""We're committed to making Meta AI more responsive, accurate, and balanced," Meta wrote in a blog post. "Real-time events can be challenging for current AI systems to keep up with, but by integrating more and different types of news sources, our aim is to improve Meta AI's ability to deliver timely and relevant content and information with a wide variety of viewpoints and content types.""
