CNN signs multi-year AI partnership with Google

Skydance’s CNN said on Thursday it had agreed to a multi-year partnership with Google to explore how generative AI could help drive audience engagement across the network.

The deal marks the first partnership announced since Skydance’s merger with Paramount, under CEO David Ellison, who has sought to position the media group as a technology-driven business.

As part of the deal, CNN will provide enhanced content rights for experimental features in Google’s products.
