� Microsoft builds a data marketplace for AI training

� Microsoft is creating a marketplace where rights holders can price their content for AI training.

� AI companies would license data legally instead of scraping it.

� Partners include Vox Media, The Associated Press, and Condé Nast. Smaller independent publishers are also expected to participate.

A pilot launch is planned soon. The model turns training data into a priced input rather than a legal gray zone.
