Content Creation with Spillovers: An Incentive Design Approach

arXiv:2603. 14372v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: The rise of AI amplifies the economic phenomenon of \emph{positive spillovers}: when creators contribute content that can be reused and adapted by LLMs, one creator's effort may improve the content quality of others through recombination.

Govern the Model, Not Only the Data: Storage, Circulation, and Learning in Creative AI

The paper argues that federated learning, while touted as privacy‑preserving, still concentrates control over the resulting model with the entity that orchestrates training. It identifies three layers—storage, circulation, and learning—where creative communities can exert governance, noting that current practices allow consent for training but not for model ownership or federation. The authors propose four design principles for a creative data commons that extends governance to models, ensures legibility of terms at contribution, incorporates refusal as a first‑class state, and makes stewardship transparent and accountable.

Measuring Human Contribution in AI-Assisted Content Generation

The paper "Measuring Human Contribution in AI-Assisted Content Generation" addresses the challenge of determining how much human input influences content produced with generative AI. It proposes an information-theoretic framework that calculates the mutual information between human input and AI output relative to the self-information of the output, thereby quantifying the proportion of human contribution. Experiments across various creative domains show that this measure can distinguish different levels of human involvement in AI-assisted works.
