Ahead of an Amazon Web Services conference on Tuesday, AWS has circulated slides that mention a content marketplace, the report said. This information came from two individuals who discussed the project with Amazon.

The slides show AWS grouping the marketplace with its core AI tools, including Bedrock and Quick Suite, when describing products publishers can use in their businesses, the report added.

This development comes as publishers and AI companies negotiate over the rules for using online content. These discussions cover content for training models and generating answers for users.

Publishers are pressing for usage-based fees that rise with how much their content is used.

Last week, Microsoft is working on a Publisher Content Marketplace (PCM), an AI licensing hub that shows usage terms set by publishers.
