Google has partnered with The Associated Press (AP) to enhance the Gemini app by providing a feed of real-time information. This collaboration aims to improve the accuracy and relevance of results displayed in the app, particularly for users seeking up-to-date information. AP's Senior Vice President, Kristin Heitmann, emphasized the value of their longstanding relationship with Google, which focuses on delivering timely and nonpartisan news to global audiences.
For over two decades, Google has worked with various news organizations worldwide, helping them grow their audience and revenue through platforms like Google Search, YouTube, and the Gemini app. Google believes that AI is a transformative technology and is committed to partnering with the news ecosystem to explore its benefits. Initiatives like the JournalismAI Innovation Challenge, which supports projects using AI to strengthen local journalism, reflect this commitment.
