Knowledge workers who invest months refining AI system prompts face pressure to surrender them to employers, eroding a key source of individual productivity advantage. No established legal framework or tooling exists to distinguish personal AI IP from company work product. As AI becomes integral to daily work, this tension will intensify across industries.

Opportunity exists for staged open-source frameworks or IP-protection tooling for indie builders.
