In a recent NITI Aayog meeting, top publishers like Zee and The Indian Express told the government: “We create the news, but AI platforms like Google and OpenAI are making money off it; without paying us.” That’s the real story behind India’s new media review. The problem? AI tools now answer your questions directly; skipping publisher websites entirely. Fewer clicks = less ad revenue. And while news houses follow strict rules, big tech doesn’t. Publishers want a revenue-sharing model and equal regulation. This isn’t about stopping AI; it’s about fairness. If AI uses your content, shouldn’t you get a cut? The government is now listening. And the outcome could reshape how journalism survives in the digital age. Stay tuned; because this fight isn’t over.
