Algorithmic disgorgement destroys your core AI asset

The Existential Threat

Your Model Could Be Deleted Tomorrow

The FTC has pioneered "algorithmic disgorgement"—forcing companies to delete AI models built on improperly obtained data. This isn't a fine. It's asset destruction. Years of R&D, millions in compute costs, your competitive advantage—gone.

The copyright litigation wave is accelerating. Courts are forcing disclosure of training data. The $1.5B settlement sets a price: roughly $3,000 per infringed work. With training datasets containing millions of items, the potential liability is catastrophic.

Investors are taking notice. Due diligence now includes "IP cleanliness" audits. No one wants to fund a model that might be deleted by regulators.

The Lucid Approach

Cryptographic Proof of Clean Training

Lucid's Clean Data Auditor scans your training datasets against known copyrighted corpora and generates a verifiable Bill of Materials. You get documented proof of data provenance—evidence that satisfies regulators, courts, and investors.

Technical Mechanism

How It Works

Corpus Scanning

Automated detection of content from Books3, The Pile, known pirate libraries, and copyright-restricted sources.

License Compatibility

Verification that all training data licenses permit your intended use (commercial, derivative works, model training).

AI Bill of Materials (AI-BOM)

Cryptographically signed manifest of all training data sources, versions, and license terms.
