IPSWICH, Mass. — May 20, 2026 — EBSCO Information Services (EBSCO) today announced the launch of EBSCOhost AI Exchange, a new platform that connects AI systems and applications to licensed, peer-reviewed scholarly content; helping ensure AI-generated answers are grounded in sources users can verify and cite.
As AI becomes a primary entry point to information for researchers, students, and professionals, the quality of sources behind those answers matters more than ever. EBSCOhost AI Exchange sits between publishers, AI systems, and end users, providing a governed framework that supports licensed access, proper attribution, and content delivery aligned with existing subscriptions and permissions.
Sam Brooks, Executive Vice President, EBSCO Information Services, said, “AI is quickly becoming a starting point for research, and the sources behind AI-generated answers matter. EBSCOhost AI Exchange connects AI tools to trusted, licensed content so organizations can deliver answers grounded in real evidence, while keeping libraries and publishers connected to the research process.”
Built on EBSCO’s decades-long role in the academic publishing ecosystem, the platform supports a range of AI environments, including commercial AI tools, institutional models, enterprise platforms, and retrieval-based applications.
Melissa D’Amato, Senior Vice President of Publisher Services, said, “Publishers need a responsible path into AI-supported discovery, one that keeps their content visible, valued, and properly attributed. EBSCOhost AI Exchange is built to provide exactly that.”
