AI is rapidly changing how researchers, clinicians, professionals, and students discover and interact with content. Search is evolving into task execution, AI assistants are becoming research companions, and publishers are increasingly asking critical questions:
- How will users find your content in an AI-first world?
- How do we maintain attribution and trust?
- How should content be licensed for AI applications?
- What commercial models are emerging?
- How do we participate without losing control?
Join KGL and Cashmere for a practical discussion exploring how scholarly publishers can navigate the shift toward AI-native discovery while protecting rights, maintaining governance, and creating new opportunities for engagement and revenue. Discover how the KGL AI Gateway, powered by Cashmere, is already helping a growing number of publishers and KGL clients, large and small, enable AI-ready discovery, establish governed licensing frameworks, and explore new monetization opportunities.
