Protocol drafts
Protocols
Four open drafts that form the rights and licensing layer of an AI-readable web: AICR declares rights, AICL executes licensing, AIRS defines the spectrum, AILP governs learning.
AI Content Rights / AI Content Rules
A machine-readable declaration of what AI systems may do with your content.
Read draftAI Content License / AI Content Licensing Layer
Turns declared rights into executable licensing: quote, pay, verify, audit, revoke.
Read draftAI Rights Spectrum
AI rights over content are not binary — they form a graduated, licensable spectrum.
Read draftAI Learning Permission Protocol
Can AI learn from this? To what depth, for which uses, with what obligations?
Read draftAgentic Payment
A fifth track — Agentic Payment — is studied as part of AICL: how agents pay for licensed content inside human-approved budgets, with request-bound tokens and audit logs, and never with raw card data.
All protocols on this site are open drafts (v0.1). They are research proposals, not established standards.
