Meta AI and Reuters Partner for Credible Social Media News
What do you get when you combine Meta’s AI chatbot with Reuters’ excellence and trustworthiness in global news and information? More reliable and credible AI-generated responses, of course!
Although the partnership isn’t the first of its kind, with The Wall Street Journal, The Atlantic, and other news organizations linking with OpenAI to provide the platform with credible news-related content, it’s Meta’s first foray into building credibility for its AI chatbot’s news-related responses.
Imagine asking Meta’s AI chatbot about the latest news in finance, entertainment, sports, science, business, technology, and what have you. Meta will scour Reuters’ latest articles and frame them into responses specific to your query. It even adds a summary and link to the news article.
Meta’s foray into more credible information dissemination doesn’t mean the social media giant is ready to ditch more creative AI uses, including how-to assistance, hot topics, and other creative tasks. Instead, this feature caters to Facebook, Messenger, WhatsApp, and Instagram users who seek trustworthy information regarding current events.
News organizations, like Reuters, now recognize the inevitability of AI in journalism. Instead of going against the flow, Reuters, The Atlantic, and The Wall Street Journal now leverage AI to propagate credible and trustworthy news.
Some quarters question the timing of the partnership. After all, Meta’s Threads are full of adversarial content, hardly the credible news and current events that Reuters provides. Still, experts commend Meta’s decision to add a trustworthy news platform as a principal source of AI-generated news-related responses.
Regardless of what people think, Meta’s decision to partner with a leading news and information platform to make its AI chatbot more trustworthy and credible is worth our applause. If any, one wonders why the social media giant took this long to ink such a deal.
