Meta signs content licensing deals to bring real‑time news into Meta AI
Summary
Meta announced that its Meta AI assistant will now surface real‑time global, entertainment and breaking news by pulling links and information from a broader set of partner publishers across Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, Messenger and the standalone Meta AI app. As part of the rollout, Meta has signed multi‑year commercial AI data and content licensing agreements with outlets including USA TODAY Co., People Inc., CNN, Fox News, Fox Sports, Le Monde Group, The Daily Caller and The Washington Examiner, reflecting a strategic shift back toward paying news publishers to improve the quality and timeliness of AI answers amid intense competition from rivals like OpenAI and Google.
