Vogue and Esquire publishers urge Congress to ban AI content theft

Original: Vogue, Esquire publishers plead with Congress to ban AI theft of their content

The publishers behind Vogue and Esquire have appealed to Congress to pass legislation preventing AI companies from using their journalism and photography without permission or payment. The plea frames unlicensed scraping of magazine content as theft and adds major media brands to the growing fight over copyright and compensation in the age of generative AI.

Why now: Lawmakers are actively debating AI regulation, and publishers are escalating pressure to protect their copyrighted work.
