Why this is canonical

'Contribution royalty' names the economic function that sits at the intersection of AI output accountability and creator compensation: the automatic attribution of value to the upstream contributors whose work enabled a result. On .ai, this is the forward-looking position for the royalty infrastructure layer of the agentic economy.

Where it fits

A few directions this coordinate opens —

AI training data licensing
The royalty infrastructure layer for platforms that compensate creators and publishers whose content trained AI models.
AI platform builders, rights management vendors, creator economy platforms
Agentic output attribution
A home for systems that trace AI-generated outputs to their upstream contributors and calculate proportional royalties.
