These relationships provide access to vast shopping-related data critical for multiple consumer sectors. Publishers benefit from annual revenue commitments while reinforcing their market positions. The implications extend to other entities, as illustrated by the NYT's lawsuit against OpenAI, which gains strength from such licensing precedents. Meanwhile, AI web search tools confront challenges due to their dependence on external platforms, unlike dominant companies with greater control over technology infrastructures.
