Pay Per Use: the push to pay creators when AI uses their work
Original: Pay Per Use: when AI uses your work, you should get paid
Cloudflare is promoting a 'Pay Per Use' model in which websites and creators get compensated when AI systems crawl or use their content. The idea responds to growing concern that AI companies train and power products on published work without payment or permission. The proposal would give publishers a way to charge for access rather than letting crawlers take content for free.
Why now: Debate over AI companies using online content without compensating its creators is intensifying.
