Apple is in talks with publishers for deals that would allow Siri AI to access current news and information, reports The Wall Street Journal (a subscription is required to read the article). The content deals could provide the tech company’s voice assistant with current news and information.
The WSJ says Apple is proposing multiyear agreements where publishers would receive payment when their content is used. Apparently, typical deals between AI companies and news organizations have set fees for broad content access. Apple has discussed a nine-figure budget for the payments, according to the WSJ.
Siri AI is Apple’s advanced generative artificial intelligence assistant that will arrive in iOS 27, iPadOS 27, macOS 27, tvOS 27, watchOS 27, and visionOS 27. It includes deep personal context understanding, on-screen awareness, cross-app actions, and a dedicated chat interface, blending on-device processing with Private Cloud Compute.
