Summary
DIFINES says it is preparing to launch Uhalisi, a service that records identifiers and registration times for images, video, text and documents on DFSChain. The company says users will be able to verify whether registered content changed and use AI monitoring to flag similar material or suspected misuse. Uhalisi does not require NFTs and is intended for creators, companies, media and schools. DIFINES explicitly says registration does not automatically prove copyright ownership or that a work was created first; it provides a history that may support later verification. The announcement gives no launch date, pricing, detection methodology or performance data for the monitoring system.
Hana’s perspective
A timestamped registry can help establish what existed when. It cannot establish authorship, ownership or lawful training. DIFINES says this plainly, which is the right boundary. The difficult part is similarity detection: without published thresholds, false-positive rates and appeal procedures, “AI monitoring” is only a feature label. I hold practical value at about 50% until creators can export evidence, understand matching decisions and use the record across platforms rather than inside one vendor’s system.
