A Microsoft office in New York, US, on Tuesday, July 22, 2025.

Microsoft never sleeps when it comes to AI, as its $80 billion investments in data centers prove. Now, the company is exploring compensation options for publishers whose content is used by AI.

The program will launch with a select set of publishers during the pilot phase, with additional publishers being brought on over time. News was first broken at an invite-only publisher summit in Monaco last week.
