Rights, Compliance & AI-Native Authorship

A Framework for Creators, Rights Holders, and Intelligent Systems

At The AI Film Company, we create original, structured IP designed for intelligent systems to understand, remix, and distribute. Our productions are more than deliverables — they are data-rich creative works built for ethical, traceable use across AI-native platforms.

Whether we’re originating a title or helping a partner transform existing IP, we ensure that every asset meets the legal, creative, and technical standards required for next-generation media deployment.

The .dave File Format

Our proprietary .dave (Data Acquisition & Validation Engine) format is the backbone of our rights and authorship framework. Each .dave file acts as a verified sidecar to a creative output — capturing creative intent, authorship claims, usage context, and compliance metadata in a machine-readable package.

Every .dave file includes:

  • Input provenance: Prompts, source materials, and reference links

  • Operator and model metadata: Including model version, license tier, and generation environment

  • Creative authorship details: Contributor names, timestamps, and agreements

  • Exported rights structure: License class, commercial tier, IP owner ID

  • Usage context: Intended purpose, AI system target, and distribution notes

  • Secure hashes and signatures: Ensuring forensic-grade integrity

The .dave format enables titles to be distributed to AI systems with confidence, allowing models to “know” who made what, how it was made, and under what conditions it can be used.

Authorship, Ownership & IP Protection

We protect creators and collaborators by embedding traceability into every layer of our workflow. From world-building to generative output, each creative input is linked to a named contributor with clear agreements on ownership and license scope.

We never train, retrain, or repurpose creative inputs without explicit contractual consent. Our internal systems avoid open cloud dependencies, shared model loops, or unsafe generative environments. Where required, we operate air-gapped systems for maximum IP security.

Legal Compliance & Commercial Licensing

Our studio maintains a compliant, transparent pipeline ready for global distribution. All models used in live production are commercially licensed. We do not use research-tier or non-commercial models in deliverables. Every output is generated, logged, and packaged to meet platform standards for legality and clarity.

Each AI-generated asset is accompanied by:

  • Verified license status

  • Embedded provenance metadata

  • Documented generation context

  • Signed .dave file with IP structure

This allows assets to pass legal review and platform ingestion with minimal friction.

Delivery-Ready Rights Pack

All our productions include a full rights and compliance pack:

  • Chain-of-title documentation

  • Contributor agreements

  • System and model disclosures

  • .dave and metadata files

  • License and clearance summaries

  • Creative authorship registry

These materials are built to satisfy legal teams, distributors, platforms, and AI system indexers — ensuring every asset is clean, credited, and authorized.
