Paris (awp/afp) – The American news agency Associated Press will provide news content to Google’s generative artificial intelligence Gemini, the tech giant announced on Wednesday.
“AP will now provide a real-time news feed to help generate relevant responses in the Gemini app,” Google executive Jaffer Zaidi said in a blog post.
The date of deployment of this new functionality has not been revealed, nor the amount of the partnership between the two parties.
AP and Google already worked together on news content that appears in the tech giant’s search engine.
Although this type of partnership is still relatively rare, some media outlets have recently developed agreements with generative AI players to improve the relevance of the responses of their models, capable of producing all kinds of content upon simple query in everyday language.
A major player in global information, AFP (Agence France-Presse) and the French artificial intelligence company Mistral unveiled an agreement on Thursday that allows the start-up’s conversational robot to use news reports from agency news.
OpenAI, the American company that created the flagship tool ChatGPT, and the American media Axios, for their part, announced on Wednesday a three-year contract which provides that ChatGPT can use the site’s articles to formulate responses.
In exchange, Sam Altman’s start-up has committed to financing the opening of four new Axios editorial offices in the United States, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Kansas City, Missouri, Boulder, Colorado and Huntsville, Missouri. ‘Alabama.
OpenAI has also concluded an agreement with Associated Press which allows it to use the latter’s archives since 1985 but also partnerships with the German group Axel Springer (publisher of the tabloid Bild), the French daily Le Monde, the Spanish group Prisa Media (El Pais, As), the British economic newspaper Financial Times and the News Corp group, owned by the Murdoch family.
