Meta has just inked a groundbreaking deal with Reuters to supercharge its AI chatbot with news-savvy answers.
This multi-year partnership means that when users ask news-related questions, Meta’s chatbot will serve up responses sprinkled with Reuters’ trusted reporting and handy links.
Meta’s spokesperson, Jamie Radice, is buzzing about the partnership, highlighting how it’ll make the chatbot experience even more delightful for those curious about current events. Meanwhile, Reuters is keeping mum on the financial details but confirms it’s part of a tech-savvy club licensing its content to AI platforms.

This move marks Meta’s first foray into news content for its AI, shifting from its usual celebrity chatbot antics to focus on current events. It’s a bold step, especially given Meta’s previous stance on news content on Threads, where it shied away from encouraging hard news and political content.
While Meta is now shelling out for news content, it’s also in a tug-of-war over laws requiring compensation for news on social media. In Canada, for instance, Meta has blocked news content rather than comply with a new law. Meanwhile, Google has reached a hefty $250 million deal with news outlets, with a slice of the pie going towards AI initiatives.
As AI continues to evolve at lightning speed, Meta is keen to be part of the transition, hoping it’ll be a boon for journalism. So, keep an eye on this space as Meta and Reuters embark on this newsy AI adventure!
