400 news outlets now partner with Google to power AI news features
Google now partners with over 400 news outlets worldwide to develop AI-powered news features.
Google has grown its News AI partnership from a handful of outlets to over 400 publishers worldwide. Partners range from major outlets like CNN, The Financial Times and Forbes to regional papers like the Texas Tribune and Post and Courier.
Through the licensing program, Google pays news organisations for their content. Google uses this content to develop new AI features.
Google News pages now show article summaries that appear before readers click through. The service also offers customised audio briefings.
Google says the features include clear attribution and direct links back to original sources. The programme launched last year and is evolving as newsrooms adapt to changing reader habits.
