Frequently Asked Questions

What is an Independent Creative Registry?
expand

Credtent’s Independent Creative Registry is a system where creative people can list all of their work and decide if they would like to Opt Out to protect their intellectual property or license it for use by AI companies for profit. Sign up here and we’ll solve your AI problem in one place.

Keep in mind that you can register your work and add the rights holder as well. Rights holders can also add creative work first, then adding creators. How profits from licensing your work is handled between creative and rights holders is up to you.

Why would AI companies work with Credtent? Will this stifle innovation?
expand

As a neutral third-party utility, Credtent provides value to LLM companies through our licensing, Opt-Out, and credibility ratings. We help them avoid lawsuits, and provide an Ethical Sourcing Badge if they pay creators for the use of their work and respect the Opt-Out requests from artists and creators on Credtent.

Credtent has also developed a science of Credibility to determine if individual web sites and data sources can be judged Credible, Biased, or Unknown. This helps LLMs focus on credible content for training, which effectively fights the propagation of disinformation. As they say, garbage in, garbage out. Credtent has no political agenda; our goal is to ensure accuracy to protect AI companies, their customers, and users of these tools from bad actors who would spread harmful disinformation.

Credtent is committed to ensuring that all AI tools, including startups and creators of Small Language Models (SLMs) have access to quality, licensed training data. Our pricing model is based on the scale of your use and customer base.

What does it mean to Opt Out of AI training for my creative work? Isn't it too late to do anything?
expand

No, it's not too late to protect your work. If you prefer to keep your work out of AI training data, simply sign up here on Credtent. There’s no cost to register your work. Credtent then ensures that your creative work is not used in the compilation of future libraries of work that AI companies use for training AND we inform AI companies that they should put guardrails in place to prevent your name or work being referenced in prompts to produce algorithmic creations.

When you add your creative work to this registry, Credtent broadcasts that information to AI developers and companies that you do not provide consent for your work. Furthermore, we audit these tools regularly to ensure they are playing by the rules.

Why are AI companies requiring that artists and creators opt out?
expand

AI companies need a massive amount of content to make their LLM (Large Language Models like ChatGPT, Google Gemini, and Anthropic’s Claude) work properly. They use your creative work to help ‘train their AI tools to predict how they should create the article, poem, video, or image you ask their chatbot to produce. Unfortunately, the practice of data scraping is an industry standard that has been happening with search engines like Google, DuckDuckGo, and Bing for a long time.

But scraping for AI is different in that it doesn’t reference your work back like a search engine will. Instead, it references your creative work to create ‘new’ work that competes with your own creative output. Credtent’s goal is to solve this issue by empowering creators to opt-out or license work, and to make it easier for LLMs/AI tools to ethically source creative work and comply with the state of California and the European Union’s current and upcoming regulations for disclosure.

We believe in the profound promise of AI, but know that it needs to be built on a foundation of respect for the creative consent from creators and rights holders.

How much creative work can I register on my Credtent account?
expand

All of your personal or company-owned content can be registered for one price, whether you license or opt-out. Credtent is the only Independent Creative Registry (ICR) that allows all creative work regardless of format. Register your books, blog, music, films (short-form and long-form), channels of social media content, collections of photos, etc. Modern creators and artists work in more than one medium so we built our ICR to allow everything. If you are licensing your work, describe and tag your work effectively so we can ensure you maximize your earnings based on the uniqueness of your work.

How much is my content worth?
expand

Once you enter the details about your content, Credtent will offer you an estimate of the value of your creative work for AI training with a Premium account where you set your own pricing. Credtent's team is full of experts on content valuation and pricing for AI training and content licenses. Our estimates are based on a variety of data you provide about your work.

Standard Licensing uses market-based pricing that will vary over time, so pricing is not disclosed if you opt for this zero-setup-cost licensing solution.
