MIT Media Lab professor Deb Roy argues: whether the text is written by a human or an AI, there must be an answerable person.
The cross-platform unified labeling framework Roy advocates is closer to a provenance approach—it does not rely on after-the-fact detection, but leaves verifiable responsibility information at the generation and publication stages.
Roy transfers the code owner idea to AI content production, advocating that responsible persons be designated separately for prompt writing, model selection, output review, final publication, and other stages, with operation logs retained.
Roy's response to the over-accountability criticism is: accountability does not equal public identity; through third-party escrow, encrypted signatures, and other means, it is possible to protect privacy while ensuring a traceable responsible entity.
Roy admits that a complete technical solution does not exist, but believes that institutional design can come first—just as the copyright system does not rely on perfect technology, but on law and social norms.
