A broad coalition of news publishers have backed shared licensing technology which seeks to protect content in the AI era.

RSL is being developed by RSL Collective, a non-profit collective rights organization led by former CEO of IAB Publishing Doug Leeds and former CEO of Cardspring Eckart Walther.
