Reuters, the storied news organization established in 1851, is actively integrating artificial intelligence into its core business operations. President Paul Bascobert outlines the company’s strategy to leverage AI for both news delivery and content licensing. Recognizing the shift towards digital platforms, Reuters is focusing on expanding its reach through these channels. A key component of their adaptation involves exploring opportunities to license their extensive content library to AI companies, viewing this as a modern evolution of their traditional wire service model and a means of participating in the growing demand for AI training data. The move reflects Reuters’ commitment to innovation and its forward-thinking approach in the rapidly evolving media landscape.
