AI Summary
HKAIIFF Index is the AI film asset indexing service of the Hong Kong AI International Film Festival, operating on the IXF Standard maintained by IAISA (International AI Audiovisual Asset Indexing Standards Alliance). It turns AI audiovisual assets scattered across platforms, social media and folders into formal public records on index.film — registrable, reviewable, resolvable, AI-readable and market-ready. Three service lines: Index builds the asset record, Address improves the entry, Market connects opportunities, covering four asset classes: AI Film, Workflow, Character & IP and World.
What it solves
As AI-generated content approaches infinity, the scarce thing is no longer the content itself but its trustworthy record. Without an Index, works are scattered across platforms, AI can only infer, buyers must verify rights and versions manually, and the asset has no stable public entry. With an Index, the asset gains a formal public identity layer — a fixed public URL, structured fields and a clear rights declaration — becoming a formal asset that people can read, AI can parse and the market can use.
In one sentence
Index.Film gives AI-native audiovisual assets a formal public identity layer. The system makes each asset: Registrable — a unique Public Code, Root ID and public index page; Reviewable — asset data, rights declarations, AI usage disclosures and version updates enter a structured review record; Resolvable — index.film/{code} provides a stable public resolver for visitors, buyers, systems and agents; AI-readable — machine-readable endpoints expose index, schema, rights, ASK, actions and credential data; Market-ready — Market fields, Buyer Intent, Agent Request actions and permissioned access support professional discovery workflows.
Official positioning
Index.Film is an official standard and public resolver, not an event brand or promotional brochure. It does not replace creative authorship or existing identifiers; it adds an AI-native asset layer for identity, evidence, machine access and market action.
Four parts of the system
IAISA — maintains the IXF Standard and the governance framework as the INDEX registry authority. IXF Standard — defines Root ID rules, resolver URLs, metadata schemas, endpoints, registrar APIs and Agent Request actions. Index.Film Registry — hosts public records, AI-readable endpoints and market-ready metadata at index.film/{code}. Accredited Registrars — approved partners that register assets and integrate Index.Film data services into their own systems. HKAIIFF Index provides the registration service channel built on the IXF Standard.
Identity model: the public URL stays short, the technical identity remains complete
Public Code: Q7M9X2K8AF — short code for public URL, QR code, posters, certificates and external sharing. Public URL: index.film/Q7M9X2K8AF — public index page for humans, buyers, AI crawlers and agents. Root ID: IXF-AIF-2026-Q7M9X2K8AF — technical credential ID for systems, review, versioning and interoperability; rule IXF-{ASSET_TYPE}-{YEAR}-{PUBLIC_CODE}. Machine URN: urn:ixf:aif:2026:q7m9x2k8af — canonical machine ID for APIs, JSON-LD and standard mapping. Examples: AI Film IXF-AIF-2026-Q7M9X2K8AF | Workflow IXF-WF-2026-J4P8R6T1ZD | Character & IP IXF-IP-2026-K9V2R7M4PX | World IXF-WLD-2026-N3A8C5T6QH.
Three service lines, one path
Index builds the record — a formal index page on index.film. Address improves the entry — memorable, brand-grade entry points for indexed assets. Market connects opportunities — a searchable, filterable, requestable market layer for buyers. Together: one path from a piece of AI work to a recognised, discoverable, market-ready asset.
From CODE to INDEX
The first step into the system is free: HKAIIFF CODE registration places your work in the Global AI Film & Video Information Pool for concentrated exposure. When the work needs a formal public identity — a fixed public address, Root ID, verifiable versions, AI-readable endpoints and market eligibility — upgrade to INDEX on the same record. CODE makes your work visible; INDEX makes it an asset.
One index page, four states
One asset, one index page, unlocked in place by service level: Free (Submitted Record · HKAIIFF CODE) → Basic (Stable Index) → Pro (Active Index) → Platinum (Intelligent Index).
One record, three views
A public page for people, buyers and external AI; an owner view for managing the record; a machine-readable view for AI systems and agents. Three presentations of one shared record, so the public, the owner and machines see the same truth.
