PLS launches publisher consultation on Generative AI

30 June 2025

They are consulting on proposed licensing for the use of published content in Generative AI training.

The short survey aims to gather feedback from publishers on key aspects of PLS’ proposal, including whether you would consider opting in to share your content with Generative AI and any areas of concern.

This consultation is for PLS-registered publishers only that license content through CLA, and is open for feedback until 22 August 2025.

Your responses will not be shared externally and will help shape the final version of the licensing scheme.

You can read PLS’ consultation paper here. You will need to be logged into your PLS Collect account to access.
