Amazon AI AWS: Amazon is coming up with AI marketplace? All eyes on AWS conference on Tuesday

Amazon has signaled to publishing industry executives that it plans to open a marketplace where publishers can sell their content to companies offering artificial intelligence products, The Information reported Monday.

AWS distributed slides mentioning a content marketplace ahead of the Amazon Web Services conference on “Tuesday,” the report said, citing two people who spoke to Amazon about the project, Reuters reported.

According to the report, the slides show AWS grouping the market with core AI tools, including Bedrock and Quick Suite, while explaining the products publishers can use in their businesses.

The report comes as publishers and AI companies are haggling over rules for using online content, whether to train models or generate responses for users, and as publishers push for increased usage-based fees based on how much their content is used.

Amazon did not immediately respond to Reuters’ request for comment.

Last week, Microsoft said it was working on the Publisher Content Market (PCM), an AI licensing hub that exposes terms of use set by publishers.
