Igniting Souls Podcast with Kary Oberbrunner S4 Ep29: Is AI Stealing your IP?

AI isn’t the enemy—but if we’re going to coexist, it must respect human intellectual property.
The other day, someone told me to check out a new tool. I was nervous to see what I might find.
Did Facebook steal my books to train its AI without my permission?
I read the article in The Atlantic and entered my name.
Sure enough—5 of my 14 books were taken. Used without my consent.
I’m not alone. Try searching your favorite author.
What will you find?
(I'm not sure, but there's clearly a serious problem.)
When intellectual property isn’t respected, people stop creating. That was the core idea behind the Venetian Patent Statute of 1474.
Even 600 years ago—long before AI—people understood that ideas needed protection.
Imagine a world where anyone could take your physical property at any time, for any reason.
That would disrupt everything.
So, what’s the solution?
We need a new generation of IP advisors to help creators, authors, entrepreneurs, and businesses navigate this new landscape.
That’s why we’re launching Instant IP Advisor.
Yes, there’s a cost—but these advisors will be well-compensated.
I’ll personally train the founding group this May, and we’ll begin serving the world soon after.
If you’re interested, visit the website and apply.
We’re opening the founder’s group to just 25 people.
It’s time to help people turn ideas into empires.
