Microsoft Develops Publisher Content Marketplace For Licensing

Microsoft is developing the Publisher Content Marketplace (PCM), an AI licensing hub that shows publisher-set usage terms and provides usage-based reporting, the company said while piloting the product with partners including Vox Media, The Associated Press, Condé Nast, People and Yahoo. The PCM aims to let AI companies license premium online content for grounding and pay publishers based on delivered value, addressing disputes over unpaid content ingestion.
