This started with a simple question.

When AI replaces the UI, who enforces the disclaimers?

For decades, data providers have relied on a simple assumption: a human developer will build a frontend, read the documentation, and manually place the required disclosures, formatting rules, and attribution notices next to the data. The compliance layer lived in the UI because a person built the UI.

That assumption is breaking. AI agents are increasingly the ones presenting data to end users. They generate responses dynamically. There is no hardcoded frontend. No developer reading the terms of service. No human in the loop deciding where to put the "past performance" disclaimer.

The question seemed obvious. The answer was: nobody. There was no protocol, no standard, no mechanism for data to carry its own presentation rules into an AI-mediated world.

AIPC exists to fill that gap. It is a contract envelope that wraps data with machine-executable rules -- disclosures, formatting, attribution, freshness, tone constraints -- so that any AI system, from any vendor, can present that data correctly. Or stay silent.
