New York Times, AFP and The Economist join coalition targeting unauthorized AI use of publishers’ content

Reuters reports that the New York Times, Agence France-Presse and The Economist joined SPUR, which aims to prevent AI firms from using or profiting from publishers’ content without permission. Launched in February, the coalition is developing ways to track and control AI use and facilitate licensing, according to its website. SPUR says its recently introduced Content Telemetry Standard is designed to standardize how AI agents record and report their use of media content.
