Castor AI is the licensing and compliance layer for the age of generative media.
Castor AI is a digital likeness licensing marketplace and compliance platform built for generative media.
CREATORS can safely use AI-generated content commercially.
TALENT gain control over how their likeness is used and get paid when it is.
For Creators
AI-generated people may look real—but that doesn’t mean they’re safe to use. Even fully synthetic faces can resemble real individuals. When that content is used commercially, the legal responsibility falls on the creator, agency, or brand that publishes it. We connect creators who need legally cleared human likeness with individuals who want to license their digital identity—securely, transparently, and on their terms.
For Individuals
You don’t need to understand the technology to understand the risk. AI makes it possible for anyone to use your face to generate video content that looks like you. If your image exists online, it can be used without your permission. You should have control over how your likeness is used—and be compensated when it is.
Using a face without permission isn't just awkward—it's a legal minefield. We cleared the path. Every face in the Castor AI Registry has verified "Proof on File," meaning consent is locked down. You get to create incredible work without ever looking over your shoulder for a subpoena.
