The New York Times (NYT) has signed a content licensing deal with Amazon, allowing its editorial content to appear on Amazon's AI platforms, including Alexa+.
Amazon unveiled Alexa+ in February 2025 as a smarter voice assistant, but its release date remains uncertain.
Amazon made Alexa+ free for all Prime members, giving access to a wider audience of 200 million customers worldwide.
This is the first instance of NYT agreeing to a licensing arrangement with a focus on generative AI technology, emphasizing the value of high-quality journalism.
