AI Privacy License – Robots.txt for AI with Enforceable Data Usage Rules

Summary: AI Privacy License is a machine-readable, legally enforceable protocol that governs how AI systems use data after crawling. It enables creators to embed usage permissions directly into their content, allowing AI companies to comply automatically during data ingestion and training.

What it does

It provides a new internet protocol that attaches machine-readable licenses to content, specifying permissions such as training allowance, attribution, commercial use, and usage restrictions. AI systems integrate an open-source detector to read and enforce these rights automatically in their pipelines.

Who it's for

Creators, organizations, and AI companies seeking to define and comply with data usage rights in AI training and deployment.

Why it matters

It addresses the lack of a shared, enforceable framework for post-crawl data governance, enabling clear, automated compliance with creators’ rights in AI data usage.
