We're back with Paresh Dave, senior writer at Wired.

So let's move to our last story.

Meta lands an AI licensing deal with News Corp.

So the parent of Facebook and Instagram and WhatsApp has reached a multi-year deal to use content from News Corp to train its AI models.

This was first reported this week in the Wall Street Journal, which is owned by News Corp.

The paper says Meta will pay up to $50 million annually for access to News Corp's U.S.

and U.K.

content.

Paresh, in addition to The Wall Street Journal, News Corp also owns Barron's and The New York Post and a bunch of other publications.

What is Meta getting with this?

What do you feel like News Corp is getting from this?

Yeah, this comes as news sites have really been hurt by people getting information from AI as opposed to clicking through to their stories.

Is this a case of if you can't beat them, at least get some money from them in the meantime?

What other kind of deals do you think we might see between media companies and AI firms?

That's Per Eshtave at Wired.
