Our Reading
The announcement sounds ambitious.
Amazon wants to connect media publishers with AI companies to create a pipeline of licensable content. This sounds like a fancy way of saying they’re trying to sell more of their existing content to companies that will use AI to make it more… interesting. Again. We’ve seen this before.
This is just the latest attempt to make AI sound like a magic solution for all of our content problems. Meanwhile, the real innovation happens in the background, where human creators are still doing the actual work.
It’s also worth noting that AI companies are already using content from media publishers to train their models. So, who’s really getting licensed here?
“This is just another way for Amazon to own even more of the content creation process.”
