Credtent provides a registry where creators can claim ownership of their digital works and set preferences for AI usage. By opting in, creators earn royalties through automated licensing agreements with AI developers; by opting out, Credtent submits industry-wide opt‑out requests and monitors compliance. The platform monetizes via transaction fees on licensed content while offering a dashboard for usage tracking, compliance alerts, and third‑party verification badges.

Problem
AI tools are trained on vast amounts of data scraped from the web, often including copyrighted creative works without the creators' consent. This unauthorized use deprives creators of control over their intellectual property and potential revenue streams.
Solution
Credtent provides a platform for creators to register their content and specify licensing terms for AI training purposes. Creators can choose to either monetize their work through licensing agreements or opt-out entirely to prevent their content from being used in AI model training. Credtent audits large language models (LLMs) to ensure compliance with creator preferences and reports any violations. The platform also offers "Creative Origin Badges" that creators can use to disclose AI's role in their work, promoting transparency and ethical AI practices.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes individual creators, artists, writers, musicians, and organizations such as guilds, unions, and schools seeking to protect or monetize their creative work in the age of AI.
