Pricing Content In The Age Of AI

About this brief

This document proposes a framework for valuing content in AI systems, introducing a common unit of measurement and a clear distinction between content shown back to humans and content fed to models. The goal is to establish a shared language for publishers and AI companies, promoting a sustainable content economy. The framework consists of two main components: Base Value, which attempts to capture the economic value embedded within the content itself, and Use Case, which determines how that value is consumed.
