Zhongyun Version Chain

Zhongyun Banlian is a service platform dedicated to providing copyright protection for AIGC-generated works. It is operated by Zhongyun Banlian (Shanghai) Information Technology Co., Ltd. The problem it aims to address is quite specific: AI-generated content does not have what is traditionally referred to as a “original manuscript” during the creation process. As a result, in the event of a dispute, it becomes very difficult for the creator to prove that they were the first to produce such content.

The platform’s approach is to integrate judicial-level evidence preservation with digital copyright registration into a cohesive system. Once users upload their works, the platform will record details such as the time of creation and the parameters used in the generation process, and these records are preserved for future use in any legal proceedings. For those who wish to officially register their rights, the platform also provides the necessary pathways to proceed with the digital copyright registration process.

This service is suitable for creators and studios that produce large quantities of AI-generated images, videos, and music with commercial intentions, especially those who have already experienced cases of their materials being illegally used. For individuals who use these tools just for personal entertainment, the value of such services is relatively limited.

The information on the platform’s home page is quite concise; for details regarding the charging methods and the validity of evidence stored on the platform, it is necessary to contact the official authorities for confirmation.
