When an AI buyer approaches you first
By SourceX Editorial · Updated
Draft under editorial review.
Short answer
If an AI company contacts you directly, slow down before sharing anything. Confirm what you own, what can be removed, and what the buyer may do with it. SourceX can run the rights review and preparation even when the buyer came to you.
