EBSCO Information Services has announced the launch of EBSCOhost AI Exchange, a platform designed to connect AI systems and applications with licensed, peer‑reviewed scholarly content. The initiative aims to ensure that AI‑generated answers are grounded in verifiable sources that users can cite.
The platform provides a governed framework that sits between publishers, AI systems, and end users. It supports licensed access, proper attribution, and content delivery aligned with existing subscriptions and permissions.
Sam Brooks, Executive Vice President at EBSCO Information Services, explained that AI is increasingly becoming a starting point for research and emphasized the importance of the sources behind AI‑generated answers. He noted that EBSCOhost AI Exchange enables organizations to connect AI tools to trusted content, ensuring that answers are evidence‑based while maintaining the role of libraries and publishers in the research process.
Built on EBSCO’s longstanding role in the academic publishing ecosystem, the platform supports a variety of AI environments, including commercial tools, institutional models, enterprise platforms, and retrieval‑based applications.
Melissa D’Amato, Senior Vice President of Publisher Services, highlighted that publishers require a responsible path into AI‑supported discovery. She stated that the platform was designed to keep publisher content visible, properly attributed, and valued within AI‑driven workflows.
