What are the responsibilities and job description for the Principal Product Manager position at ProRata?
Generative AI is transforming the way we interact with information, but it also poses an existential challenge to content creators. By scraping proprietary material without compensation, generative AI undermines key revenue streams-such as ad revenue, subscriptions, and licensing agreements-that sustain high-quality and original content creation.
ProRata was founded in 2024 by Bill Gross at Idealab Studio with a mission to ensure that generative AI platforms fairly credit and compensate content owners for their contributions. Our groundbreaking technology enables generative AI platforms to attribute sources and share revenue on a per-use basis, protecting creators, fostering sustainable journalism, and promoting the integrity of AI-generated content.
