## Resource

AI is rewriting the rules of media, as tech giants snap up news content to fuel their own AI tools — leaving publishers scrambling for scraps while risking their independence. OpenAI, Meta, and Google are locking down deals with outlets like the Guardian and Washington Post, turning journalism into raw data for algorithms. Google’s AI features are already slashing traffic, prompting lawsuits and sparking panic. Meanwhile, smaller players like Perplexity face legal battles, while Anthropic stays quiet — for now. The cash on the table? Tiny compared to Big Tech’s AI budgets. Ireland’s newsrooms are notably left out, while English and European giants dominate. Regulatory hope? Maybe — the EU’s AI Act could force transparency, and Ireland’s new AI office may help. But history says publishers have adapted before — often losing control and cash.
