According to CoinMeta, CNN has signed a multi-year cooperation agreement with Google to study how Google's generative AI products can enhance user engagement with its news reports. This collaboration is still in its early stages, and both parties have not yet disclosed how CNN will specifically use Google's AI products to direct traffic to their own news content. However, Sam Felix, the senior vice president in charge of strategic cooperation and business development at CNN, stated on Thursday that this partnership will open up "new ways for audiences to access CNN's exclusive news reports, and at the same time, CNN will also be compensated for the distribution and use of its unique intellectual property in AI products." Felix said in the statement, "Google's innovations in generative AI have changed the way people search for information and content, and now these tools will help us explore new methods to reach audiences and increase user interaction." CNN emphasized in the press release that this agreement reflects its efforts to protect news works in the era of artificial intelligence.
