On May 5, The Capitol Forum hosted a conference call with Dr. Courtney Radsch, PhD, of the Open Markets Institute. In this timely discussion, Radsch examines key themes from the organization’s new report, “Same Gatekeepers, New Tollbooths,” on the emerging market for AI content licensing, including the need for a durable framework to govern AI licensing and compensation and how AI companies source content amid growing challenges around attribution and payment.
Drawing on her expertise in technology policy, media markets, and platform governance, Radsch explores the emergence of a three-tiered market for AI licensing deals, the role of intermediaries and the risk of platform-driven dependency, and the broader implications of ongoing copyright litigation for market structure and negotiations.
