Listen "Episode 4: Democratic Compensation for the New Creators"
Episode Synopsis
The conversation is about an essay by Ahmed Bouzid that critiques the current model of artistic compensation tied to intellectual property, arguing it inadequately rewards most creators in an era disrupted by generative AI. Instead, it proposes a shift towards a system where compensation is based on meaningful participation in civic and cultural ecosystems. This alternative envisions platforms where individuals, including artists, are rewarded for their engagement, insightful contributions, and ability to shape collective understanding in public deliberations. The author suggests that in a future of potential post-scarcity, value will be derived from participation and influence rather than solely from labor or ownership. This new model aims to recognize and compensate those who actively contribute to democratic processes and shared knowledge. Ultimately, the text champions a move from a transactional model based on IP to a relational one centered on civic engagement and its impact.
