Meta's<\/a> first major AI news deal brings real-time Reuters information to its Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp chatbot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meta, the company behind Facebook and Instagram, has formed a multi-year partnership with Reuters to incorporate AI-driven chat features into its platforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to\u00a0an <\/span>Axios <\/span>report\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n <\/g>\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n <\/clipPath>\r\n <\/defs><\/svg><\/span><\/a>, the collaboration will allow Meta\u2019s AI chatbot to access Reuters news to answer user inquiries about current events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Starting October 25, this feature will be available to U.S. users through Meta\u2019s AI assistant on Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, and Messenger. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With this integration, Meta\u2019s AI can now link directly to Reuters articles when responding to relevant questions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Details regarding licensing, particularly in training Meta\u2019s large language model (LLM), Llama, have not been disclosed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Meta spokesperson stated: \u201cWhile most people use Meta AI for creative tasks, deep dives on new topics or how-to assistance, this partnership will help ensure a more useful experience for those seeking information on current events.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This marks Meta\u2019s first major news partnership in the AI sector, signaling the company\u2019s effort to stay aligned with evolving AI trends. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meta\u2019s approach to adding news content through AI differs from its recent moves to reduce news and political content across its platforms. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following controversies in recent years, including the removal of its \u201cNews Tab\u201d and a reduced focus on political news after 2020, Meta had largely shifted away from news-centered features. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This AI collaboration, however, suggests a controlled return to news for users who actively seek it rather than passively encountering it in their feeds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meta\u2019s agreement with Reuters reflects a broader trend of AI companies partnering with news outlets to enhance credibility and address legal concerns. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

OpenAI, the developer of ChatGPT and GPT-4, has also secured several licensing deals to incorporate reliable news sources, catering to user demand for accurate information and addressing publishers\u2019 concerns over content usage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These partnerships respond to legal challenges within the AI industry, such as a lawsuit from Time and The Associated Press against OpenAI<\/a> over the use of copyrighted material. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

OpenAI has partnered with other outlets like the Financial Times, French publisher Le Monde, Spanish Prisa Media, and German media giant Axel Springer to provide news to users in multiple languages.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
