Google now pays more than 400 publications to license their articles for experimental AI features in Google News, including AI story previews and custom audio briefings. The deal terms are undisclosed, and the pilot pays a flat licensing fee rather than per use in AI answers.
- The pilot has grown to over 400 publications, including CNN, the Financial Times, Axios and Forbes, plus US local papers like the Texas Tribune and Post and Courier.
- Licensed content feeds AI-generated story previews on Google News publisher pages, which carry a note saying the copy "may include mistakes."
- Google says the pilot does not pay based on how much content feeds an AI answer; that per-use model belongs to a separate programme covering AI Overviews, AI Mode and Gemini.
