I used to think AI model ownership was mostly a legal argument.
Now I think it is becoming an infrastructure problem.
Models are copied, fine-tuned, wrapped into agents, and used inside products where the original contribution can disappear. Users want tools they can trust. Builders want credit and monetization. Institutions want licensing clarity. Regulators want evidence when rights or payments are questioned. $AIGENSYN
For $OPEN , model ownership is not just about saying who created something. It is about connecting usage, settlement, and value distribution to AI assets in a way people can inspect.
My grounded opinion: the AI market will need ownership records before it can support serious shared liquidity. $GUA
The risk is fragmentation. If every platform defines ownership differently, builders may stay closed and users may never know what they are relying on.
