Meta strikes multiple AI deals with news publishers

SUMMARY

Meta has announced new AI data agreements with several news publishers, including USA Today, CNN, and Fox News. This marks a shift from previous years when Meta moved away from compensating news organizations. The agreements enable Meta to access content for its AI chatbot, providing real-time answers to user queries on news events.

These multiyear deals allow publishers to be compensated for their content, aiming for a broader spectrum of verified news. Meta plans to expand its partnerships and features over time.

Notably, Meta is collaborating with conservative outlets, despite past controversies regarding perceived bias against conservative stories. Overall, Meta's platforms are shifting focus away from news sharing to prioritize viral video content.
