"According to recent reports, the company is talking to publishers about launching a marketplace where media sites can sell their content directly to companies building AI tools. The idea is to create a central hub where media outlets can license articles, data, and other content to AI companies. At the moment, many AI models use information scraped from the web without clear agreements or compensation. This has sparked legal disputes and raised questions about ownership and how publishers should be fairly compensated."
"Amazon hasn't officially confirmed the plan yet, but The Information reports that the company "circulated slides that mention a content marketplace" ahead of a recent AWS conference for publishers. When TechCrunch reached out for comment, a spokesperson said, "Amazon has built long-lasting, innovative relationships with publishers across many areas of our business, including AWS, Retail, Advertising, AGI, and Alexa. We are always innovating together to best serve our customers, but we have nothing specific to share on this subject at this time.""
Amazon is talking to publishers about launching a marketplace where media sites can sell content directly to companies building AI tools. The marketplace would serve as a central hub for licensing articles, data, and other content to AI firms. Many AI models currently rely on web-scraped material without clear agreements or compensation, provoking legal disputes and ownership questions. Amazon circulated slides mentioning a content marketplace ahead of an AWS conference, and a spokesperson emphasized existing publisher relationships but offered no specific details. A similar Microsoft marketplace already exists, and pricing, terms, and participants remain unknown.
