Meta and Reuters They have signed a “multi-year deal” that will see the tech giant’s AI chatbot refer to the media’s reports to answer news-related questions.
In a statement to The Verge, Meta spokesperson Jamie Radis said:
“We’re always working to improve our products, and through our partnership with Reuters, Meta AI can answer news-related questions along with providing news summaries and links to Reuters content. “While most people use Meta AI for creative work, this collaboration provides a more useful experience for those looking for information on current events.”

Reuters spokeswoman Heather Carpenter also told The Verge in an email:
“We can confirm that Reuters has partnered with technology providers to license trusted, fact-based news content to power their AI platforms. The terms of these transactions remain confidential.
Through the partnership, Reuters also gets paid to feature its content on Meta’s AI chatbot, which is available through Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp and Messenger.
Until now, many of Meta’s most interesting AI features have focused on personalities (for example, the celebrity chatbot that the company recently removed), but now Meta is making its chatbot more aware of what’s going on by signing this deal with Reuters.
Over the past few years, news organizations including The Atlantic, The Wall Street Journal and Meredith’s Dotdash Group have signed similar deals with OpenAI. At the other end of the spectrum is The New York Times, which is embroiled in a costly legal battle against OpenAI and Microsoft, alleging that the tech companies used its copyrighted content when building their AI models.
