Future’s Paul Newman took to the #AOPTechTalk stage to talk us through how they relaunched TechRadar with a user-first approach and a deliberate emphasis on human experience. In an era of generative AI, it is human expertise that make our brands – we need to lean into this. Along with a detailed overview of the work they’d undertaken to reinvigorate their brand, Paul shared five key learnings for publishers: 💡 You’re never doing as well as you think you are at the peak of your performance, and you’re never doing as badly as you think you are at the trough. Focus on what you can control and the core reason you exist – the other problems can be fixed in the background. 💡 Sites need to be fighting fit for this brave new world of AI. Make sure you’re doing the basics well to drive audience to your site. 💡 Build for the future – you need a vision of where you’re going. 💡 Innovation is the only way to fight back against increasing competition. 💡 Understand the needs of your readers and make sure you’re satisfying them. We also heard from Alice Ting, dmg media, and JJ Shaw, Lewis Silkin LLP, to understand what publishers can do to protect their IP and content assets from AI platforms. One of the challenges that publishers are facing is that the law is different depending on region. UK legislation states that you can’t text or data mine unless it’s for non-commercial research purposes, but the EU legislation also includes an allowance for text and data mining unless the owner has opted out by appropriate means. The US has different legislation again based on how transformative the use is, meaning that publishers need to respond to multiple fronts and understand how and where they can make claims. However, there are some clear steps that publishers can take to protect their content. Firstly, know what you own and what you have copyright of. Secondly, update your terms of use on a regular basis to make sure that the contract a person or bot makes with you by entering the site prevents scraping; looking at the larger publishers to see what they’re saying can be a good way to begin here. Likewise, staying up to date with your robots.txt and other applicable software is essential. Finally, if someone is taking your content, make sure that you take action; write cease and desist letters so that there is a clear trail demonstrating that you’re taking tangible action and not just turning the other cheek. https://lnkd.in/ecMA-pB2 Thank you to Google for joining us as host partners for today's #AOPTechTalk discussion. #digitalpublishing #digitalmedia #artificialintelligence
