PRINCIPLE
RIGHTS PERSIST
Creative works carry subsisting IP rights that persist across every form of AI use. Renaming content as “training data” does not extinguish the rights that exist in it.
02
APPROACH
PRACTICAL INFRASTRUCTURE
Standards, tools, and professional certification that make rights exercisable in practice, not just asserted in theory. Machine-readable declarations. Verified credentials. Enforceable frameworks.
