Vendors and AI – integration is creating a new opportunity for aggregators
9th July 2026
As more organisations look to integrate trusted external content into enterprise AI, the role of the aggregator is beginning to change.
Traditionally, aggregators have focused on discovery, access and workflow.
But our latest research suggests they are increasingly becoming an important part of the AI infrastructure itself.
July 2026 update
1st July 2026
As we wrap up our focus on Content and AI, several themes have emerged consistently across our research, reports, and community discussions.
While organisations continue to move rapidly on AI adoption, many are still working through the practical realities of governance, licensing, trusted information, and organisational readiness.
Which leads nicely into our next research into stakeholder value and AI.
The AI paradox – why trust matters more than ever
23rd June 2026
At the recent KIMRA conference, much of the discussion focused on AI, agents, synthetic data, and changing workflows.
But participants repeatedly returned to a more fundamental question:
“What information can we trust?”
Content investment for AI – why the conversation is changing
18th June 2026
This month, Jinfo published the report “Content investment for AI - building the foundation for operational value”, based on interviews, community discussions, and research into AI governance, licensing, user training, and content strategy.

One area receiving increasing attention is the link between training and access.
Jinfo findings point to a growing shift from policy-led training, towards workflow-based guidance and practical capability building.
The new Jinfo report “Training end users in AI – from policy to practice” explores how organisations are helping end users work responsibly with AI tools and licensed content.

Much of the discussion around AI still centres on tools, features and rapid progress.
Yet beneath that noise, a more practical – and arguably more consequential – question is taking shape: “Where should licensed content actually sit?”.

Finding common ground between stakeholders in AI licensing
16th April 2026
There’s a widening gap between how content is licensed and how users want to use it in AI workflows.
Stakeholders are adapting, but they are not in sync. This is creating tension across publishers, aggregators, information managers and end users.
At the core is a shift – from access-based models to outcome-driven value – that licensing hasn’t caught up with.
Bridging this gap requires alignment, clearer rules, and more practical AI-ready approaches.
