DIAP Protocol

AI doesn't copy your work.
It learns to become you.

The licensed protocol powering AI identity authorization for the entertainment industry.

Partnered with TrustMark IP to bring authorization infrastructure to studios, guilds, and talent worldwide.

01

Register

Any person or organization registers identity assets — face, voice, motion, writing — into a secure vault with machine-readable ownership records.

02

Authorize

When an AI system needs to use an identity, it requests permission through DIAP. Scoped by use case, territory, and duration.

03

Audit

Every AI-generated output is logged and watermarked. Identity owners, their representatives, and regulators can verify the full chain at any time.

Universal by design

DIAP is not limited to one industry. Any system that processes human identity through AI can integrate the protocol.

EntertainmentStudios, guilds, performers, agents — authorize every AI use of face, voice, and motion in production pipelines.
Music & AudioVoice cloning, AI dubbing, synthetic vocals — authorization travels with the identity, not the contract.
Gaming & Virtual ProductionAthlete likenesses, motion capture, digital twins — scoped and auditable per project.
Brands & AdvertisingCampaign-scoped identity use with territory and duration controls built into the token.
Platforms & Social MediaAnswer "was this content authorized?" at scale — machine-checkable verification for any AI-generated output.
Written WorkRegister scripts, articles, and creative writing as protected assets. Control who can read, adapt, or train on them.

Three layers of protection. Only one is proactive.

Copyright and trademark are reactive legal tools. DIAP is the infrastructure layer that establishes the record before AI ever touches an identity.

The Four Dimensions of Identity

Hollywood has always known these exist.

AI has made them urgent to register. DIAP defines the vocabulary.

Close-up of a person mid-conversation, warm film grain and teal accent light — behavioral energy captured

Personality Construct

Behavioral signature — cadence, mannerism, the way someone is

Talent, agents, studios

Actor mid-emotional scene with tears and dramatic stage lighting — raw expressive pattern

Performance Signature

Expressive pattern — how emotion moves through the body

Talent, guilds, VFX

Silhouette of a caped character in dramatic backlighting — fictional identity beyond any single film

Character Construct

Fictional identity — exists beyond its creator, beyond any single film

Studios, IP owners, writers

Dancer mid-leap in dark mocap studio wearing suit with glowing reflective markers — movement fingerprint capture

Motion Identity

Pixel-level movement fingerprint — the way a body moves through space

VFX, motion capture, games

Motion Identity

The movement is the identity — not the character.

How DIAP Protects IP

Six layers of protection — from authorization to watermarking to revocation. Shared infrastructure that every stakeholder can verify.

Every render is authorized

Cryptographically signed license tokens — scoped to a specific project, rights, territory, and duration. No valid token, no render. A token for Film A cannot be reused for Film B.

Every output is watermarked

Dual-layer invisible watermarks — pixel-level and AudioSeal — survive compression, re-encoding, and social media upload. If your content appears on an unauthorized platform, the watermark proves it.

Every use is logged

Per-frame render receipts create an unbroken provenance chain. Studios, talent, and guilds all see the same truth — what was authorized, what was rendered, and when.

Visibility is controlled

Two layers of authorization. Layer 1: whether your identity is even visible to AI systems. Layer 2: per-project usage. Both revocable at any time by talent, agents, or guild reps.

Revocation is instant

When authorization changes — a talent revokes, a token expires, terms are violated — every certified AI pipeline is notified immediately. Valid licenses are always honored. Emergency revocation targets unauthorized use only.

Scripts are protected too

ScriptModule extends the same authorization model to written works. Four independent rights — read, derivative, export, and training — each require separate authorization. TRAINING_USE defaults to no.

Why Now

Regulatory, legal, and industry pressure is converging.

ByteDance generated Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt from public data.

February 2026

Disney, Paramount, Warner Bros., Netflix, and Sony all sent cease-and-desist letters within days. No technical mechanism existed to prevent it.

Guild contracts mandate machine-readable authorization.

2026 bargaining cycle

DGA-AMPTP negotiations are underway. SAG-AFTRA and WGA contracts already require it. The industry has zero shared infrastructure to deliver it.

EU AI Act requires AI content to be machine-readably labeled.

Effective 2025–2026

€35M penalties for non-compliance. The regulation is live — the infrastructure to comply doesn't exist yet.

4 US states already protect digital likeness by law.

Active legislation

Tennessee ELVIS Act, California AB 2655 & AB 1836, Illinois BIPA. Federal preemption is coming.

Who It's For

Shared infrastructure for every stakeholder in the AI identity pipeline.

Studios & IP Protection

The problem: ByteDance generated hyper-realistic footage of A-list talent from public data — and 5 studios had no technical mechanism to prevent it or prove their own authorizations.

DIAP: Project-scoped license tokens, per-frame render receipts, and dual-layer watermarks that prove which studio authorized which output — creating an auditable chain of custody from authorization to final render.

Guilds & Unions

The problem: SAG-AFTRA, WGA, and DGA contracts mandate authorization, territory limits, and training restrictions. But no technical mechanism translates those clauses into machine-readable rules.

DIAP: Union-ready compliance profiles, bulk member registration, audit exports that map directly to contract clauses, and ScriptModule for writer protection.

Talent & Creators

The problem: A face posted to Instagram is now AI training data. A voice memo is now a clone source. No technical mechanism exists to know about it, authorize it, or stop it.

DIAP: Identity Vault with two-layer authorization, agent delegation, real-time audit trail, and emergency revocation — free forever for talent.

Writers & Authorship

The problem: AI companies want to train on scripts. Writers need machine-readable authorization — not just contract language that AI systems ignore.

DIAP: ScriptModule: cryptographic registration, four independent rights (read, derivative, export, training), AuthorshipReceipts, and TRAINING_USE denied by default.

Emergency Revocation — For Unauthorized Use

Blocks unauthorized AI use instantly. Valid licenses are always honored. Anyone in the authorized chain — talent, agents, studios, or guild reps — can trigger it when they detect external threats.

What DIAP is not

Not a marketplace. Not an agency. Not a content platform. Not blockchain.

DIAP is infrastructure — the authorization protocol underneath all of them.

Free for identity owners. Subscription-based for organizations and platforms that use it.
