Solution Overview

Problem

Current generative artificial intelligence systems lack the capability to determine the proportion of content items used to generate derivative content, making it impossible to provide accurate attribution and compensation to the original content creators.

Innovation Solution

A server system that parses inputs to generative AI, embeds them into a shared language-image space, compares creator-based embeddings to determine similarity, and creates a creator attribution vector to provide compensation to content creators based on their contribution to the generated derivative content.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If generative AI creates derivative content using training data, then content generation capability is improved, but inability to track content usage proportion prevents accurate attribution

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent generation capabilityVSAvoidcontent usage proportion
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by embedding content descriptors and creator identifiers into the generative AI model before content creation. These embeddings are injected into the model's latent space, allowing the system to track which creators' styles are being used and to what extent, without interfering with the AI's creative capabilities.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements feedback by continuously monitoring the generative AI's output to determine the proportion of each creator's content style present in the derivative work. This feedback loop enables real-time attribution calculation by comparing the generated content against the embedded creator profiles, ensuring accurate compensation distribution.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Measurement precision

If the system tracks content usage for attribution, then attribution accuracy is improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveattribution accuracyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system introduces an intermediary attribution determination module that acts as a mediator between the generative AI and the compensation distribution system. This module contains the logic for calculating content usage proportions and determining creator attributions, separating the complexity from the core generative AI model while maintaining attribution accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes parameters by representing creator content styles as embeddings in a shared language-image space. By transforming creator profiles and generated content into comparable vector representations, the system enables precise attribution measurements through mathematical operations on these parameters without requiring complex analysis of the actual content.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Reliability

If creator attributions are determined based on content similarity, then compensation fairness is improved, but computational resources increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecompensation fairnessVSAvoidcomputational resources
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The system creates simplified copies of creator content in the form of embeddings - compressed vector representations that capture the essential characteristics of each creator's style. These embedding copies allow for rapid similarity comparisons without requiring the full computational resources needed to analyze the actual high-resolution content, enabling fair attribution with reduced energy consumption.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

AI summary

In some aspects, a server determines an input provided to a generative artificial intelligence, parses the input to determine: a type of content to generate, a content description, and creator identifiers. The server embeds the input into a shared language-image space to create an input embedding. The server determines a creator description comprising a creator-based embedding associated with individual creators. The server performs a comparison of the input embedding to the creator-based embedding associated with individual creators to determine a distance measurement of an embedding of individual creators in the input embedding. The server determines creator attributions based on the distance measurement and creates a creator attribution vector to provide compensation to the creators.
