Apple looks to give Siri AI news access

Apple is pursuing multi-year deals with publishers to provide its Siri AI assistant with access to news and real-time information. According to The Wall Street Journal, these partnerships aim to enhance Siri's accuracy after years of lagging behind rival AI assistants. Instead of fixed licensing fees, Apple is proposing a variable compensation structure, allowing publishers to earn revenue based on how often Siri uses or cites their reporting. The company has discussed a nine-figure payout pool, offering media outlets greater visibility into their content's usage.
