Google is expanding NotebookLM, its AI-powered note-taking and research platform, to include contributions from prominent publishing organizations. This project features partnerships with various scientists, nonprofits, authors, and media outlets, resulting in specialized notebooks that cover a range of topics such as science, travel, parenting, finance, and even Shakespeare’s complete works, as mentioned in a company blog. Notebooks from The Economist and The Atlantic are newly available, with The Economist providing insights from its latest publication, “The World Ahead 2025,” highlighting key trends of the year.
These notebooks feature expert analyses concerning 2025, advice from Arthur C. Brooks in The Atlantic, a scientific guide to Yellowstone, an overview of long-term trends by Our World In Data, parenting tips from Jacqueline Nesi’s Substack, and financial data from top global companies. Users have access to various features within NotebookLM like AI-generated audio summaries and Mind Maps that show relationships between ideas, and they can ask questions directly to the AI assistant. The enhanced platform also allows users to share notebooks through public links, a feature that is gaining popularity.
This collaboration is taking place as major publishers like The Atlantic and The Economist team up with a leading AI firms to profit from the rising impact of generative AI on search and journalism. However, other publishers, including The New York Times and Ziff Davis, have opted for litigation against AI entities over concerns regarding the unauthorized use of copyrighted material for training purposes.
