Microsoft is launching payments to publishers for content appearing in Copilot. The company is introducing a new feature called “Copilot Daily,” which provides users with a spoken summary of weather and current events. As reported by Kyle Wiggers, Reuters, Axel Springer, Hearst Magazines, and The Financial Times have joined as partners for the service, initially available in the US and UK. Microsoft plans to add more publishers and expand the service to other countries soon. The amount of payments to publishers has not been disclosed. These partnerships come at a time when some AI providers are entering into payment agreements to protect themselves against allegations of copyright infringement.
