Yahoo Becomes First Licensee Under Internet Licensing Collective AI Model
Yahoo has become the first official licensee of the Internet Licensing Collective (ILC), a new collective licensing standard designed for the AI era. The model, which functions similarly to how Spotify handles music rights, requires AI companies to pay for content scraping through a centralized license rather than negotiating individual deals with every media outlet. The ILC was backed by several companies last year under the Remote Scraping License (RSL) framework. This development marks a significant shift in how digital publishers seek compensation from artificial intelligence developers for the use of their data and intellectual property during model training.
