Gloo Launches Innovative AI Licensing Platform for Creators of Values-Based Content
Gloo, the innovative technology company that connects the Christian faith ecosystem, has taken a significant leap forward by unveiling its new Gloo AI Licensing platform. This groundbreaking initiative is designed to empower content creators focused on values-driven content to protect their intellectual property while ensuring they receive fair compensation in today's rapidly evolving digital landscape.
Launched on February 20, 2025, the Gloo AI Licensing platform aims to revolutionize how values-based content is accessed, utilized, and monetized. By addressing an urgent need within the industry, Gloo is enabling publishers and creators to extend the reach of their content while maintaining ethical standards. The platform ensures that AI-driven applications responsibly respect content creators' rights, particularly concerning their contributions in chatbots, apps, and robotics.
As part of its commitment to this mission, Gloo has established a usage-based compensation model. The company is backing the platform with a $5 million pooled guarantee, ensuring that publishers can enjoy immediate and transparent payouts. This unique approach is reminiscent of how iTunes transformed the music industry by creating fair compensation avenues for artists. As Pat Gelsinger, the current Chairman of Gloo and former Intel CEO, stated, "Just as iTunes revolutionized compensation for musicians, Gloo is creating a sustainable model to ensure creators of values-based content can thrive in the AI era."
Gloo AI Licensing is not just a promise to protect creators' rights; it's also a commitment to amplify their voices. By safeguarding human wisdom and stories that inspire transformation, Gloo is asserting that the future of content creation should prioritize high-quality, human-generated material. This ambition is shared among Gloo's impressive lineup of investors, including HL Investments, Thrivent, and GuideStone Financial Services.
One of the most remarkable features of the Gloo AI Licensing platform is its advanced Digital Rights Management (DRM) system. This technology not only improves content discoverability through AI-powered tagging but also places control in the hands of publishers. They can specify precise permissions for AI training, determine access levels, and track the usage of their content. This shift in control represents a significant move away from traditional content distribution models that often left creators feeling powerless and under-compensated.
As Steele Billings, Gloo's Chief AI Officer, remarked, "Values-based content has the unique ability to inspire, heal and guide. In the age of AI, it's critical that human-generated content isn't overtaken or suppressed by machine-created material." This highlights a growing concern in the industry about preserving the integrity of human creativity and ensuring that machines do not overshadow the essence of values-driven storytelling.
Another key figure in the development of Gloo AI Licensing is Howard Rachinski, the founder of Christian Copyright Licensing International (CCLI). Rachinski pointed out that the industry is facing similar challenges today to those encountered in the 1980s with music artists. His insights have helped shape the licensing solutions that Gloo is now offering, which bridge the gap between AI companies that demand ethically curated content and creators who seek fair compensation.
Brian Mosley, president of RightNow Media, emphasized the platform’s potential impact: "Every day, we see incredible teachers, authors, and ministry leaders pouring their wisdom into resources that transform lives. The Gloo platform is a game-changer — it ensures these voices aren't just preserved but empowered to reach more people."
Scott Beck, Gloo's CEO, summarized the overarching goal of the new platform quite eloquently: “This is about uniting the brightest minds in technology, business, and faith to create a sustainable ecosystem where content — created for people and by people — thrives alongside AI advancements.” Gloo AI Licensing forms part of a broader suite of solutions aimed at supporting content creators, including printing, binding, fulfillment, and advertising networks that span both B2B and B2C contexts.
With over 80,000 affiliated church and faith organization leaders in the U.S., Gloo's distribution network is poised to amplify the reach of values-based content significantly.
