Now, with the arrival of RAG, the AI tool which can ensure that AI models have access to live news and information, the tech companies can browse the web to extract valuable content from journalistic websites and respond to users’ questions with the most up-to-date information. Once again, the tech companies are, in most cases, not paying for the use of data to train their models, nor giving users any idea of the provenance of that information. I understand that some AI companies have done deals with publishers, but that most, when offered the opportunity to do so, have refused to license content. They see it as another cost of business that they should not have to incur.
