Story Protocol: Building a Modern IP Infrastructure and Protecting Creators in the AI Age (Andrea Muttoni - President Story Foundation)


Listen Later

This episode features a conversation with Andrea Muttoni, President of Story Protocol. The discussion explores how blockchain technology is being used as a foundational infrastructure for intellectual property (IP), aiming to simplify and modernize the process of registration, licensing, and monetization for creators and IP owners. Muttoni details his journey from a bedroom music producer to a product manager at Amazon and eventually to a leader in the blockchain industry, driven by a passion for the intersection of technology and creativity.

The conversation delves into the core problems Story Protocol aims to solve, particularly the complexities of copyright, fair use, and attribution in the age of AI-generated content. Muttoni introduces key concepts like the Programmable IP License (PIL), a customizable and on-chain license that makes IP rights more transparent and accessible. He also provides an overview of Poseidon, a new initiative that leverages the Story Protocol to create a marketplace for IP-safe, real-world data needed to train AI models, ensuring that data creators and owners are fairly compensated.
