September 2, 10AM-6PM

Why aren't we living in a digital Renaissance?

Despite global distribution from the internet and godlike tools from AI, creators are struggling to grow and monetize their works.

As the speed and scale of digital media production continues to explode, the need for a revolution in intellectual property (IP) is growing more critical. The concept of IP has proved its importance as the incentive and security for creators and innovators worldwide, acting as the currency of culture.

However, with the advent of AI, the traditional IP regime has shown its limitations.

Today a centralized AI oligopoly is swallowing the creativity of the Internet and building closed systems to benefit the few off of the works of the many.

By making IP Programmable and adapting it for the Internet era, we enable creators to define the rights to their own IP and decide who and how others can use their IP. This shift returns power to creators and paves the way for a digital renaissance. PIP Seoul is the cornerstone event of Story House, co-hosted by
