Meta has signed industrial AI data agreements with news publishers to supply real-time global, entertainment and breaking news on Meta AI, its AI chatbot. Now, when users ask questions on Meta AI news, information and links pulled from various content sources are exhibited to help users find timely and relevant content for the corporate announced on Friday.
These answers also contain links to articles in order that users can visit the publishers' web sites to learn more. The company says this may allow its partners to succeed in latest audiences.
Meta works 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 so as to add latest partnerships in the long run.
The move comes as Meta moves away from making its platforms hubs for news. For example, in 2024, Facebook's News tab was abolished. Also meta has stopped compensating news publishers in 2022, but is now doing so to enhance its AI chatbot with real-time access to messages.
“We are committed to creating Meta AI more responsive, accurate and balanced,” Meta wrote in Blog post. “Real-time events could be difficult for current AI systems to maintain up with, but by integrating more and several types of news sources, our goal is to enhance Meta AI’s ability to supply timely and relevant content and knowledge with a wide range of viewpoints and content types.”
The company desires to attract more users to its AI chatbot because it faces increasing competition from rivals. Meta desires to stay relevant within the AI race even after the controversial release of Llama 4, which was met with complaints about poor performance earlier this 12 months.
