ProRata.ai

The team at @FIPPWorld is taking concrete steps to protect publishers in the AI era, and our partnership is one of them. Fair compensation for publisher content is not optional. It is the future. fipp.com/news/fipp-announces…

In an #AI driven world, brand credibility is more important than ever. It is the infrastructure of success. #Attribution, provenance, and transparency are becoming foundational to AI discovery. theharrispoll.com/briefs/pag…

AI is forcing a hard question for publishers. Do you monetize access, or do you share in outcomes? Models that align incentives between platforms and publishers will define sustainability in the AI era. #AI #publishing mediacopilot.ai/ai-revenue-p…

Cheers to 25 years of @Wikipedia! 🍾 A quarter century of freely accessible, human-powered knowledge for the world. Our CEO Bill Gross on why this matters: Wikipedia’s commitment to content quality, validity, and transparency has set the standard—especially amid massive technological change. Proud to support Wikipedia as AI reshapes search and discovery, now and for the next 25 years. #Wikipedia25 #AIForGood bit.ly/Wikis25th

Trust in AI starts with attribution.

In the AI race for speed and scale, @Bill_Gross reminds us: ethics and attribution build the AI that lasts. He joined @AnjneyMidha (@a16z) and @nouralhassan (ArabicAI & @TarjamaMENA) at the #FortuneGlobalForum panel on the future of AI to share why transparent, fair systems will earn lasting trust. 🔗youtu.be/4CwtuueNkGY?si=3feB… Video and photos courtesy of @FortuneMagazine #contentattrubution #FutureOfAI #FortuneGlobalForum #ProRata

The future of search is at a crossroads—and the stakes couldn't be higher. At @Fortune #BrainstormTech, our CEO @Bill Gross joined leaders from @Cloudflare, @PeopleIncco., and @AnklerMedia for a critical discussion: "Search Engine Zero: Who Controls The Future of Discovery." Bill and ProRata have a clear vision—the next era of search must guarantee fair credit and compensation for creators and publishers. 🎥 Watch the conversation here: fortune.com/videos/watch/Sea… #FutureOfSearch #CreatorsFirst #DigitalFairness #MediaInnovation #ProRataAI #AttributionMatters

Thank you for the support.

AI is transforming the way we access information. Unfortunately, creators risk being left behind as AI use their content without credit or compensation. That's why our CEO, @Bill_Gross (inventor of pay-per-click advertising), is building ProRata.ai. Featured in Techer, Bill shares how ProRata is pioneering a fair, transparent, and permissioned based model where publishers, advertisers and creators thrive alongside AI.

.@Cloudflare blocks AI crawlers by default. @Bill_Gross says: “We firmly believe that all content creators and publishers should be compensated when their content is used in AI answers.” Great piece by @Knibbs of @WIRED wired.com/story/cloudflare-b… #AItech #GenerativeAI #AICrawlers

We are proud to support @Cloudflare’s permission based AI crawling to help stop the unauthorized scraping and use of original content in generative AI. As our CEO, @Bill Gross said, "Our whole mission is to protect and elevate human creativity in the AI era. That’s why we’re proud to be one of the first AI companies to participate in Cloudflare’s initiative to create a new permission-based model for the Internet. We believe that creators and publishers deserve to be fairly compensated for the value they bring, and we’re thrilled to support Cloudflare in helping make that vision a reality." This is a big moment in generative AI and we are excited for this next step. businesswire.com/news/home/2… #cloudflare #AITech #GenAI #ResponsibleAI #paypercrawl

As AI lawsuits mount, publishers still struggle to block the bots. In a recent @Digiday article by @SPGuaglione, the challenges publishers face in preventing AI companies from scraping their content are brought to light. Despite implementing measures like robots.txt files and paywalls, many AI bots continue to bypass these defenses, leaving publishers vulnerable. Our CEO, @Bill_Gross, aptly describes this situation: “I do think that almost all of the AI crawlers have violated the robots.txt request to not crawl. It’s been blatant, and publishers are getting very angry.” Read the full article here: digiday.com/media/as-ai-laws…
