S.M.I. // DIRECTIVE 09 · ROADMAP DECLASSIFIED
A public planning document for a facility that's evolving from an education platform into trust infrastructure for a world where humans and AI create together.
Phases, not promised dates.
Timeline · Phased rollout
We move by phase, not by calendar. Each phase gets shipped when it's honest to ship.
Where S.M.I. is today.
This phase is operational. Everything above is live in the facility right now.
Documenting who made what, when, and how.
This phase is operational. The Registry generates records that support enforcement. It does not replace copyright registration.
Tools that assist creator judgment — not verdicts.
Metadata inspection, provenance verification, and registry hash-watch monitoring are live today; confidence-scored synthetic indicators are the active build.
Assessment, not authentication. Every result is reviewable by a human.
A constellation of interconnected modules.
Modules on the horizon are directional. Scope, naming, and sequencing will evolve with the field.
S.M.I. exists to establish trust, ownership, and authenticity in human–AI co-creation. We help creators verify who they are, preserve the provenance of what they make, protect their IP through documentation and evidence, and improve how their work is discovered by AI-driven search. We don't promise to stop deepfakes, block bots, or guarantee authenticity. We build the tools, records, and signals that let humans decide — with better evidence in front of them.
Pillars · What we're building toward
Each pillar is a load-bearing wall of what S.M.I. is becoming. None of them promise certainty. All of them promise transparency.
Verifiable creator identities so authorship travels with the work — even after it leaves the creator's hands.
A chain of custody: timestamps, version and edit history, ownership chain, licensing history, and disclosed AI involvement.
Organized evidence for copyrighted works. Records that support protection and complement — never replace — official copyright registration.
Assistive analysis with confidence scoring. Signals for humans to weigh, not verdicts to accept.
Notification when public content potentially matches registered works — with evidence packaged for creator review.
Helping organizations be accurately understood, referenced, and attributed by AI systems: structured metadata, knowledge graphs, provenance signals, and machine-readable citations.
The Registry anchors every record in a tamper-evident SHA-256 hash chain today. The roadmap moves toward post-quantum signature schemes — so provenance records written now can stay verifiable as quantum computing challenges classical assumptions.
Machine-readable usage policies, crawler preference management, watermarking and provenance metadata, licensing APIs — transparency and accountability, with an honest acknowledgment that no technical system can block every bot.
Facility protocols · Checks & balances
A system built to establish trust has to be trustworthy first. These are the standing commitments S.M.I. holds itself to — the protocols we ship every phase against.
Automated analysis informs. Humans decide. S.M.I. tools produce assessments and evidence — never verdicts.
Confidence scores over certainty claims. Published methodology principles. Honest labeling of what is simulated versus real analysis inside the facility.
Creators choose what to register and what to disclose. Nothing about the Registry works by default — it works by consent.
S.M.I. operates inside existing legal frameworks — copyright, DMCA, licensing — and generates evidence that supports them rather than claiming to replace them.
S.M.I. labels its own AI-generated content, including AI art in the Vault. If we ask creators to disclose, we disclose.
Disclaimer · In-fiction, but for real
This roadmap represents direction and intent — not guarantees, not fixed timelines, and not a finished map. Scope, sequencing, and naming will evolve as the field evolves and as we learn what actually helps creators. Everything on this page is subject to change as S.M.I. moves through each phase.
