Terms of Generation
One agreement that AI companies, businesses, creators and individual people accept on the same terms for what AI may generate.
What it is for
Protection from deepfakes
AI services that use PRE-GEN check before they generate a real person. Without a signed
allowfrom that person's registry, they do not generate.Control of your identity
You decide whether AI may use your face, voice, brand or work, and on what terms. You can change your terms or withdraw them.
Clear rules between people and AI
One licence and open rules for people, AI companies and platforms. Every answer is signed, so anyone can check it later.
Two parts
The Licence sets the terms. The protocol is how an AI service learns them in time, with a signature it can keep.
What may be generated
A legal text, the same for everyone. A Holder applies it to their own likeness, marks or works with a Statement at a registry, and the registry issues a ToG code.
How it is checked
Signed requests and answers between AI services and registries, a signed directory of registries, and proof that travels with the output. Open specification, Apache-2.0.
Where to start
Each column starts with the main task for that reader, then links to the full text.
Rights holders
Say what AI may do with your likeness, marks or works, and publish it under one code.
AI developers
Ask before you generate, check the signed answer, keep the proof. No account at any registry.
Registries
Hold Statements, answer requests and sign the answers. Get listed in the signed directory.
Platforms
Check the ToG Proof on upload, label AI content and remove it on notice.
Check a ToG code
The registry that issued the code answers. A lookup shows what it says about the code and permits nothing.
pregen.org publishes the Licence, the protocol and the signed directory of registries. It is not a registry: it holds no Statements and issues no codes.
