Apple reportedly negotiating variable payments to publishers for Siri AI news access
↗
Apple is reportedly in talks with publishers to license their content for the upcoming Siri AI, proposing a pay-as-you-go compensation model rather than the standard fixed licensing fees used across the industry.
Only one feed carried this story, and all details are attributed to a Wall Street Journal report, so corroboration is thin. The proposed variable compensation model would be a notable departure from how AI companies typically license publisher content, and the scale of the budget under consideration suggests Apple is serious about the effort.

Apple has considered a nine-figure budget for payments to publishers, according to the report.
The proposed variable compensation model pays publishers when their content is used, rather than through fixed licensing fees tied to broad access.
Siri AI is expected to roll out later this year.
