New partnerships for the AI era
One of the ways we make our products more helpful is through commercial partnerships, in which we pay for extended display rights and content delivery methods like APIs. In the last few years alone, we’ve partnered with over 3,000 publications, platforms and content providers in more than 50 countries and we continue to build on this work.
We’re now piloting a new commercial partnership program with a range of news publishers globally — including Der Spiegel, El País, Folha de S. Paulo, Infobae, Kompas, The Guardian, The Times of India, The Washington Examiner and The Washington Post, among others — to explore how AI can help drive more engaged audiences.
As part of this new AI pilot program, we’re working with publishers to experiment with new features in Google News. For example, we’re testing AI-powered article overviews on participating publications’ Google News pages to give people more context before they click through. And we’re experimenting with audio briefings for those who prefer listening. These features will include clear attribution and link to articles.
We’re also partnering with organizations like Estadão, Antara, Yonhap and The Associated Press to include real-time information to enhance results in the Gemini app.
As the way people consume information evolves, we’ll continue to improve our products for people around the world and engage with feedback from stakeholders across the ecosystem. We’re doing this work in collaboration with websites and creators of all sizes, from major news publishers to new and emerging voices.
