"Amazon is reportedly in discussions with publishers about launching a marketplace where media sites could sell and license their content directly to AI firms. According to a report by The Information, Amazon has told publishing industry executives that it is considering launching a marketplace that would allow publishers to offer articles, data, and other material to companies developing AI products."
"The proposed platform would act as a central hub where AI companies could formally license content instead of relying on information scraped from the open web. Currently, many AI systems gather data online without clear agreements or fair payment arrangements. The reported talks come as publishers and AI companies continue negotiating how AI firms can access and use online content, whether to train models or generate answers for users."
"An Amazon spokesperson tells The Information that the company has "nothing specific to share" about the report. The spokesperson added: "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 in talks with publishers about creating a centralized marketplace where media sites can sell and license articles, data, and other material directly to AI firms. The platform would provide AI companies a formal route to obtain content rather than relying on web scraping and unclear use arrangements. Amazon has said it has nothing specific to share while noting existing relationships with publishers across multiple business areas. Publishers and AI companies are negotiating access and usage terms as AI chatbots and AI-generated summaries reduce search referrals, readership, and advertising revenue for news organizations.
