People Inc forges AI licensing deal with Microsoft as Google traffic drops | TechCrunch
"essentially a pay-per-use market where AI players directly can compensate publishers for use of their content on, sort of like an 'a la carte' basis."
"It's a very strong endorsement of us to be in the room with them and a very strong endorsement of the publishing marketplace and the value of content to make AI that is of high value,"
"respected and paid for,"
People Inc. signed a licensing deal with Microsoft to become a launch partner in Microsoft's publisher content marketplace. The marketplace operates on a pay-per-use, a la carte basis that allows AI companies to directly compensate publishers for use of their content, with Microsoft's Copilot named as the first buyer. The agreement follows an earlier licensing deal with OpenAI and contrasts with that deal's 'all-you-can-eat' model. Reported search traffic from Google has declined sharply, falling from 54% two years ago to 24% in the most recent quarter. The company objects to AI firms using publisher content without payment.
