Creative Commons Backs Pay-to-Crawl for AI
Update: 2025-12-16
Description
Creative Commons is exploring a new concept called pay-to-crawl technology, which would automatically pay websites when AI programs access their content. This system aims to charge AI bots each time they gather information from a website, potentially helping publishers recover lost revenue due to AI. However, Creative Commons has concerns about potential power imbalances and access restrictions, suggesting principles for responsible implementation. Other companies are also exploring similar solutions, including Microsofts AI marketplace and the RSL Collectives Really Simple Licensing standard, which Creative Commons supports.
