DANVERS, Mass., July 21, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CCC (Copyright Clearance Center), a pioneer in voluntary collective licensing, has been named to the 2026 KMWorld AI 100, the annual list published by KMWorld that identifies 100 organizations leading the way in integrating AI into knowledge management (KM).

“This year’s KMWorld AI100 list demonstrates AI’s growing footprint across KM platforms and services,” said Marydee Ojala, Editor-in-Chief, KMWorld magazine. “AI moved extraordinarily quickly from being a curiosity to becoming embedded in KM products and now offers real-world applications. We are excited to track the accomplishments of these companies and applaud the benefits they bring to KM.”
