"The AI industry's pursuit of licensable content has been a messy affair, filled with lawsuits and accusations of copyright infringement. Now, as tech companies look for legally safe sources of AI training data, Amazon is reportedly considering launching a marketplace where publishers can license their content directly to AI companies. The Information reported Monday that the e-commerce giant has been meeting with publishing executives and alerting them to its plans to launch such a marketplace."
"Reached by TechCrunch, an Amazon spokesperson didn't deny the story but didn't directly address the would-be marketplace either, saying only: "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 reportedly exploring a content marketplace to enable publishers to license material directly to AI companies as vetted training data. Amazon has met with publishing executives and circulated slides mentioning a potential content marketplace ahead of an AWS publishers conference. An Amazon spokesperson issued a noncommittal statement emphasizing existing publisher relationships across AWS, Retail, Advertising, AGI, and Alexa while offering no specifics. Microsoft has launched a Publisher Content Marketplace to give publishers a revenue stream and provide AI systems scaled access to premium content. Major AI firms have pursued licensing deals, yet legal challenges over copyrighted training material persist.
