Google Pays Publishers to Use Unreleased AI for Automated News Content
-
Google is paying some news publishers to publish AI-generated articles using an unreleased AI model. Reports reveal deals worth over $10k annually.
-
The goal is to assist under-resourced publishers in creating aggregated content from data sources like government agencies.
-
Publishers must compile lists of external sites and can get AI summaries to edit or publish. 3 articles, 1 newsletter, and 1 marketing campaign required per month.
-
There's no requirement to mark the content as AI-generated. Google denies the tools will republish other outlets' work.
-
This builds on past Google efforts like "Genesis," pitched earlier this year as a "personal assistant for journalists" to generate news copy.
