Google has unveiled a groundbreaking partnership with the Associated Press (AP) to integrate real-time news updates into its AI-powered chatbot, Gemini.

In an official announcement, Google described the collaboration as a pioneering effort between a major tech company and a news organization to deliver live content through artificial intelligence.

The partnership aims to enhance Gemini's capabilities by incorporating live updates directly from AP, improving the accuracy and reliability of search results. While the feature is not yet live, Google has confirmed that real-time updates will soon be integrated. Currently, Gemini displays a message indicating the absence of real-time news functionality.

Kristin Heitmann, AP's Chief Revenue Officer, emphasized that the partnership seeks to deliver timely, accurate, and trusted news to audiences worldwide.

This move addresses ongoing criticism of AI chatbots, including Gemini, for their limited access to dependable news sources. By partnering with AP, Google aims to solidify Gemini’s role as a reliable source for up-to-date information.
