Through partnerships with outlets such as CNN, Fox News, Le Monde, People, USA Today, The Daily Caller and The Washington Examiner, Meta AI will provide breaking news, entertainment updates and lifestyle features when users ask news-related questions. The company said the tool will guide users to “more diverse content sources” with links to full articles on partner websites.
Meta stated that the expansion is designed to make its AI assistant “more responsive, accurate, and balanced” by incorporating multiple viewpoints. The company acknowledged that real-time developments can be difficult for current AI systems to track effectively.
Meta plans to expand its list of partners and introduce new features as competition accelerates among technology companies to build more powerful AI assistants. Meta AI is already available across all its platforms, serving billions of users worldwide.
The announcement comes as leading AI companies—including ChatGPT and Google’s Gemini—are increasingly integrating live web content. Meta, however, has had an inconsistent relationship with the news industry. Although the company once funded multi-million-dollar news partnerships, it later scaled back, arguing that news represented only a small portion of user engagement. This included shutting down Facebook News in markets such as the US, UK and France. Earlier this year, CEO Mark Zuckerberg also unexpectedly ended Meta’s US fact-checking programme, which had relied on third-party fact-checkers—including AFP—to combat misinformation.
