Explain me like I’m five: AI Rights Management
by Primavera De Filippi
Imagine you’re in an art class where everyone brings their own drawings, photos, and paintings to share and learn from. Some kids also bring pictures of themselves and their families. One day, your teacher brings in a special robot artist that can look at all these pictures and create new artwork. That sounds amazing, right?
But wait — just like how you wouldn’t want someone copying your drawing without asking, or using a photo of you without permission, we need rules for how this robot artist can use everyone’s work and pictures. This is where AI Rights Management (or AI-RM for short) comes in!
What is AI Rights Management?
Think of AI-RM as your art teacher who makes sure everyone’s artwork and photos are used fairly. Just like how your teacher keeps track of whose drawing is whose and asks permission before displaying someone’s art in the school hallway, AI-RM helps make sure the robot artist follows similar rules.
Why do we need it?
Remember when someone once copied your artwork without asking, and you felt upset? Well, the robot artist can sometimes accidentally do something similar because it learned by looking at lots of different artworks. AI-RM helps by:
- Making sure the robot artist has permission to look at and learn from certain pictures
- Keeping track of whose art styles and photos were used for teaching the robot
- Making sure the robot’s new artwork doesn’t copy too much from any one person’s art
How is it different from old rules?
The old way of protecting art (called DRM) was like putting your drawing in a locked box where only you could see it — even if your best friend just wanted to learn from your cool coloring technique. AI-RM is different. It’s more like having a special art journal that shows:
- Which artists gave permission for the robot to learn from their work
- What kinds of pictures the robot is allowed to make
- How we can share and use the robot’s artwork fairly
What makes AI-RM special?
AI-RM helps in three important ways:
1. It’s like a chain of title
Just like how when you buy a house, you want to make sure the seller actually owns it and has the right to sell it, AI-RM keeps track of who has given permission for their creative work to be used. It creates a clear record showing who owned what and who gave permission for what — just like the paper trail that proves you really own your home.
2. It protects everyone’s privacy
Think of it like your personal medical records or financial information — you wouldn’t want just anyone accessing or sharing those. Similarly, AI-RM ensures that AI systems don’t use anyone’s personal data, private photos, or sensitive information without proper consent and safeguards in place.
3. It helps create original art
AI-RM is like having an art teacher who helps you develop your own style instead of just copying others. It guides the robot artist to create new things while respecting everyone else’s work.

Why should we care?
As more people start using robot artists to create things — like stories, pictures, and music — we need to make sure everyone’s original work and personal information is protected. AI-RM helps by:
- Making sure artists get credit when their style inspires new artwork
- Keeping private pictures and information safe
- Making sure the robot artist creates things in a way that’s fair to everyone
The future is bright!
Just like how art class is more fun when everyone respects each other’s work and shares fairly, AI-RM makes it easier and safer for people to use AI to create new things. It helps everyone feel confident about sharing their art and ideas with robot artists, knowing there are good rules to protect their work and privacy.
Remember: AI-RM isn’t about stopping creativity — it’s about making sure everyone’s rights are respected while we create amazing new things together!
