Your terms for AI use.
On the record, in your name.
The AI Training Rights Passport records your licensing position for every type of AI use of your work — timestamped, per work, and connected to your Rights Graph. When the licensing frameworks arrive, you negotiate from documentation, not desperation.
One work. Nine separate positions.
“AI use” is not one thing. Each use carries different commercial and ethical implications, so your passport records a separate position for each.
Pre-training
Whether your work may be included in the datasets used to train foundation models from scratch.
Fine-tuning
Whether your work may be used to specialise an existing model — often the highest-value, most style-specific use.
Retrieval & RAG
Whether AI systems may retrieve and quote your work at answer time through retrieval-augmented generation.
Embeddings
Whether your work may be converted into vector representations used for similarity search and recommendations.
Search indexing
Whether AI-powered search products may index your work — distinct from traditional web search.
Model evaluation
Whether your work may be used in benchmark and evaluation sets that score model quality.
Synthetic data
Whether your work may seed the generation of synthetic training data derived from it.
Commercial output
Whether commercial products may be built on outputs shaped by your work — and on what terms.
Non-commercial research
Whether academic and public-interest research may use your work under different conditions than commercial actors.
Why record your terms before you're asked?
Even before a formal licensing mechanism exists, a documented, timestamped position is evidence of your intent — and it is worth far more recorded before a dispute than asserted after one.
Australia's licensing framework is coming
The Albanese Government has confirmed a paid AI licensing framework for creative work, with legislation expected in early 2027. Creators with documented, timestamped terms will negotiate from evidence. Creators without them start from scratch.

Transparency obligations under the EU AI Act apply from 2 August 2026, and machine-readable rights reservations are how European law expects creators to signal their terms. A documented position today maps directly onto that regime.
What every writer needs to knowAn opt-out button is not a position
Meaningful permission records answer: which work, which use, which conditions, what duration, what price. A single toggle answers none of those questions — and carries almost no weight in a negotiation or a dispute.
Why your terms matterA position is only as strong as the record behind it
The passport isn't a standalone form. It's one layer of the same tamper-evident record that holds your provenance, versions, and declarations.
Anchored to the work itself
Your terms attach to a specific work — its unique cryptographic fingerprint, independent trusted timestamp, and tamper-evident version history — not to a loose account-level setting.
How the Rights Graph worksPaired with your authorship declaration
Your AI & Human Authorship declaration records how the work was made. Your passport records how it may be used. Together they answer both questions any licensee or tribunal will ask.
The three-tier declarationInforming Sentinel monitoring
When Sentinel surfaces a possible copy or AI-related use of your work, your recorded permissions are the baseline it is assessed against: permitted use or potential violation.
Meet SentinelInteroperates with the signals you already send
Opt-out registries, machine-readable reservations, and content credentials each solve part of the problem. The passport connects them to your work's provenance record — rather than replacing any of them.
Machine-readable licensing
Emerging formats let creators express licence terms that machines can read. Your passport holds the position those signals express.
Structured permissions
International work on structured permission vocabularies is converging on machine-readable profiles — the direction your passport is built for.
Content credentials
Emerging provenance credentials can carry rights assertions with the work itself, wherever it travels.
Web-level reservations
Site-level text-and-data-mining reservations. Useful signals — strongest when backed by a documented, timestamped position.
Opt-out registries
Aggregated opt-out registries respected by several AI companies. Your passport records the terms behind your opt-out.
Regulation on both continents
EU transparency rules from 2 August 2026 and Australian government standards point the same way: transparency, provenance, and rights signalling.
Where this stands today: per-work AI permission settings — training, indexing, and use conditions — are live now and recorded against your work's timestamped record. The full passport — separate machine-readable positions for every use type, exportable in standards formats — is being developed as standards-aligned infrastructure. The passport records your position; it is not a licensing marketplace, and it does not claim to enforce terms on your behalf.
The complete picture: ScriptShield records the rights before access, verifies the permission during access, and watches for use outside the authorised channel. Your passport is the creator's independent system of record — even when permission is exercised through external infrastructure.
Document your terms before anyone asks for them
Start with a free proof receipt, set your authorship declaration and AI permissions, and your position is on the record — timestamped, per work, in your name.
