Super thrilled that TollBit is among the first companies on the TWiST 500! Olivia Joslin and I appreciate the opportunity to sit down with Alex Wilhelm and talk about the infrastructure we are building so that any AI application can pay any publisher for valuable content used for RAG. Content consumption is truly about to explode and we need new economic models to sustain publishers. https://lnkd.in/eEYTpJmD

There's an urgent need for a global infrastructure that ensures AI tools have access to accurate and timely information while fairly compensating content creators. To hear more on this issue check out Toshit Panigrahi and Olivia Joslin's recent piece "AI needs newspaper subscriptions" at the Washington Post: https://wapo.st/3yzPABq
If the nation needed a reminder of the importance of speed, accuracy, and reliability in reporting, the past two weeks offered a harsh warning... We need a global infrastructure that allows for the efficient exchange of content at fair prices and mechanisms that allow AI agents to pay fair market value in real time for the content they desperately need. We need to acknowledge that the use of AI tools is about to explode. And we need a pricing and technical framework that services small and large players on both the supply and demand side of the equation.

"What would really move the needle, though, is a marketplace for publishers to get good value for their content from those interested in summarizing it for audiences. That's exactly what TollBit is trying to do." - Pete Pachal, The Media Copilot https://lnkd.in/gSW-vth6

I just want to say that I think TollBit sees the future on content…I saw them present at yesterday’s BDMI Summit ahead of what I thought was a fun discussion between me and the inimitable Jeff Jarvis (who also sees the AI space with an uncanny clarity - but his forthcoming book) on some of the lingering legal and normative questions around AI.
