Meta Platforms has recently entered into commercial AI data agreements with news publishers to assist in delivering a broad range of real-time content using its AI chatbot.
The social media giant is partnering with major news outlets including CNN, Fox News, Fox Sports, Le Monde Group, People, The Washington Examiner, and USA Today to provide global breaking news, entertainment and lifestyle stories on its Meta AI chatbot.
Meta Platforms plans to add news partnerships and features in the future.
The company stated in a blog when users ask Meta AI questions, they receive direct links to partner articles “to help you discover timely and relevant content tailored to your interests”.
“We’re committed to making Meta AI more responsive, accurate and balanced.”
“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”.
During the company’s Q3 earnings call in October, CEO Mark Zuckerberg said the chatbot had more than 1 billion active monthly users and he expects usage to increase as it improves its AI models.
Rival OpenAI has also struck various content deals to train ChatGPT to answer questions and provide summaries of news articles.
