Why this is canonical

Protocols are the foundational layer of any ecosystem — they define the rules of exchange. In media, there has always been a battle over protocols: MRSS, HLS, DASH, OpenRTB. On .ai, 'media protocol' names the canonical position for whoever defines the protocol layer of the AI-native media ecosystem — the rules by which AI media systems exchange content, metadata, rights, and attribution.

Where it fits

A few directions this coordinate opens —

AI media interchange standard
The protocol layer defining how AI-native media systems exchange content, metadata, rights, and attribution information.
Media standards bodies, interoperability platform builders, and media ecosystem infrastructure teams
Programmatic media protocol
Protocol infrastructure for programmatic media transactions — buying, selling, and distributing media assets across AI-connected systems.
Ad tech, programmatic media, and media exchange platform builders

Illustrative, not exhaustive — held as a transferable canonical position, open to the buyer's own use.
