US Copyright Office in 2026: works created purely by AI aren't copyrightable. Works with enough human creative control might be. Here's where the line sits right now.
Provenance — C2PA, SynthID, Watermarking
Two families of provenance technology. One attaches signed metadata. The other embeds invisible patterns in the pixels or waveform. Here's how to implement both. The manifest contains ASSERTIONS (who captured/generated it, which tools/models, editing history, bounding boxes of AI-generated regions).
Licensing AI Output for Commercial Work
Who owns it? Who can you sue? Who indemnifies you? The commercial licensing landscape is fragmented, evolving, and critical to ship-safe work.

The past decade of AI progress came from a simple, ruthless law: more compute and more data, predictable improvements. Here is the math behind it.
The Economics and Ethics of Training Data
Data is the strategic asset of AI. Understand the supply chain, the legal fight, and the philosophical stakes before you build anything on top.
Scaling Laws and Compute-Optimal Training
Dive into the equations that governed the last five years of AI progress, and the fresh questions they raise now that pure scaling is hitting walls.
Context Rot: Why Long-Context Models Still Lose Information
Long-context models advertise million-token windows, but middle-of-context recall degrades — design for context rot, not against it.
