From Free to Pricey: Is AI About to Get Expensive?

In this segment of "Intellectual Property News" on Passage to Profit Show, we dive into one of the hottest topics in tech right now: AI, copyright, and the future of content. Our panel breaks down the latest Anthropic court case — including the surprising decision that uploading pirated books could cost millions in damages — and debates what this could mean for the price of AI tools like Perplexity. We explore whether creators should get paid, how much users might be willing to pay, and what this all means for businesses relying on AI to save time and money. It’s a lively, practical, and eye-opening conversation about the real cost of artificial intelligence.   Richard Gearhart and Elizabeth Gearhart, co-hosts of Passage to Profit Show have this discussion with global leadership strategist and author of, AfterShock to 2030, Caroline Stokes, Anya Cheng from Taelor and Jeffrey Sedler from EQB, Inc. Agents and Consultants.   Whether you're a seasoned entrepreneur, a startup, an inventor, an innovator, a small business or just starting your entrepreneurial journey, tune into Passage to Profit Show for compelling discussions, real-life examples, and expert advice on entrepreneurship, intellectual property, trademarks and more.
