As we develop new AI offerings and product experiences, such as the Gemini app, we're identifying specific types of information and data that can help improve our products and services for people everywhere.

For years, we've worked with The Associated Press (AP) to provide up-to-date and accurate information for features in Google Search. To build on that collaboration, the AP will now deliver a feed of real-time information to help further enhance the usefulness of results displayed in the Gemini app. This will be particularly helpful to our users looking for up-to-date information.

"AP and Google's longstanding relationship is based on working together to provide timely, accurate news and information to global audiences," says AP Senior Vice President and Chief Revenue Officer Kristin Heitmann. "We are pleased Google recognizes the value of AP's journalism as well as our commitment to nonpartisan reporting, in the development of its generative AI products."

Google has collaborated and partnered with news organizations of all sizes in countries around the world for more than two decades. This includes helping publishers grow their audience with Google Search, YouTube and the Gemini app, driving publisher revenue through our ads products, and providing tools to give publishers choice and control.

We believe AI is a transformative technology and we look forward to partnering with the news ecosystem to explore the benefits of AI and empower journalists, including through tools like Pinpoint and initiatives like the JournalismAI Innovation Challenge, which is supporting 35 projects from 22 countries using AI technologies to help strengthen local journalism.
