Meta has entered into a multi-year agreement with Reuters to integrate the news agency’s content into its AI chatbot, enabling users to receive real-time answers to queries about news and current events. According to Axios, users of Meta’s AI chatbot feature in the U.S. will have access to Reuters’ journalism when asking questions, with answers citing and linking to the agency’s coverage. The partnership, Meta’s first news deal in the AI era, comes as the company has previously scaled back news content in its main feeds amid regulatory scrutiny. Reuters, known for its non-partisan reputation and commitment to accurate reporting, will be compensated for access to its content, although it remains unclear whether the deal includes licensing for training Meta’s large language model, Llama.
