Meta in talks with media firms for AI content licensing - report

Investing.com -- Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:META) has been discussing potential licensing agreements with several major media companies to integrate news content into its artificial intelligence products, according to a Wall Street Journal report published Thursday.

The social media giant has held conversations in recent months with media organizations including Axel Springer, Fox Corp (NASDAQ:FOX) and News Corp (NASDAQ:NWSA), the report said, citing people familiar with the matter.

These discussions have focused specifically on licensing news and other content for use in Meta’s AI offerings.

However, some of the talks remain in preliminary stages and may not necessarily lead to finalized agreements, the sources indicated.

The potential partnerships would allow Meta to incorporate news content from established media outlets into its developing AI products, though specific details about how this content would be utilized were not disclosed in the report.
