Introducing Amlet: The Global AI Content Registry Publishers Have Been Waiting For
Amlet is the world's first AI content registry, allowing publishers to register their works with a unique digital fingerprint to prove ownership and set licensing rules.
Today marks a turning point for the publishing industry. After watching AI companies build trillion-dollar models on unlicensed content, publishers finally have infrastructure to regain control, establish rights, and unlock new revenue streams.
Amlet launches today as the world's first AI content registry built specifically for the post-scraping era.
What Amlet Is
Amlet empowers publishers and content creators to securely register, manage, and license their digital works in the AI economy. Our platform provides the missing trust layer between content owners and AI companies—enabling legal, transparent, and monetizable data exchange at scale.
Built on the International Standard Content Code (ISCC), the new ISO standard for digital content identification, Amlet gives every work a unique "digital fingerprint" that stays with the content regardless of where it appears or how it's modified.
The Problem We're Solving
The numbers tell the story: AI companies have built a $1.8 trillion industry using content worth over $2 trillion, yet less than 1% of creators have been compensated. Meanwhile, over 50% of AI training data comes from copyrighted sources scraped without permission.
This isn't sustainable. The EU AI Act, emerging US legislation, and mounting publisher lawsuits signal that the era of unrestricted content scraping is ending. By 2030, over $100 billion in licensing deals wait for the infrastructure to make them possible.
That infrastructure is what we've built.
How It Works
Publishers can now. . .
Register: Upload content and receive cryptographic timestamps with ISCC digital fingerprints that prove authenticity and ownership.
Control: Set granular Text and Data Mining (TDM) permissions that specify exactly how AI companies can use their works.
Monetize: Connect with AI companies seeking legally cleared, high-quality training data and real-time content access.
Our TDM Registry provides universal clarity on AI usage rights with a single declaration, while our licensing infrastructure handles everything from discovery to payment.
Why Now
The regulatory landscape is shifting rapidly. AI companies need legal content sources. Publishers want fair compensation. But until now, no standard framework connected them.
Amlet bridges this gap with:
- ISO-standard content identification
- Cryptographic proof of ownership and timestamps
- Machine-readable licensing preferences
- Automated discovery and payment systems
Launch Partners Leading the Way
We're proud to launch with industry leaders who recognize the opportunity:
StreetLib, the global digital publishing platform, brings thousands of titles from publishers worldwide.
Bowker, the official US ISBN agency, supports our approach to universal content identification.
The Post-Scraping Era Begins
For too long, the conversation around AI and content has focused on protection and restriction. Amlet flips the script: instead of just defending against unauthorized use, publishers can now actively participate in and profit from the AI economy.
This isn't about stopping AI development—it's about ensuring creators are compensated and credited for the value they provide.
The infrastructure that should have existed from day one is finally here. The question isn't whether AI companies will pay for content—legal and competitive pressures make that inevitable. The question is whether publishers will be positioned to benefit when they do.
