I'm excited to share this week's episode of The Media Copilot, where I had a fascinating conversation with Dan Goikhman, the innovative force behind Dappier. As we dive into the evolving landscape of AI and publishing, we tackle one of the most pressing questions facing our industry: how do we make AI companies pay their fair share for content?

In our discussion, Dan breaks down how Dappier is emerging as that crucial bridge between traditional media and what he calls "the AI internet." What fascinates me is how they've positioned themselves as more than just middlemen – they're creating an entire ecosystem where publishers can not only monetize their content but also harness AI's power for their own platforms.

The most compelling part of our conversation comes when we explore how Dappier transforms publishers' content into AI-compatible formats. Think of it as creating a universal translator between human-written content and AI systems like ChatGPT and Perplexity. The genius part? If these AI companies want to use this content, they'll need to pay up, or face a digital blockade.

But what really got me excited was our discussion about the future. We dive deep into whether chat will become the dominant way people consume information, and what that means for media companies. You won't want to miss our exploration of how media organizations need to reimagine themselves in this AI-driven future.

Make sure to stay tuned until the end, where Dan and I explore the philosophical implications of this shift. It's not just about technology – it's about fundamentally rethinking what it means to be a media company in an AI-first world.

🎧 Join me for this illuminating conversation that might just change how you think about the future of publishing.
