Google's early attempt to pay websites for AI answers is struggling

Google is currently paying about 100 digital publishers when their content is used to feed AI answers. According to reports from The Information, this pilot program is struggling as many small and mid-sized websites receive very little compensation. Specifically, some publishers find that these AI payments amount to less than one-tenth of one percent of their total advertising revenue, highlighting the limited financial impact of the current payment structure for participating digital media sites.
