Co-founder of AXM, building digital public infrastructure for cultural IP. Focused on ethical AI, authorship, and global rights innovation.
My organisation
AXM Technologies is developing a new type of digital system that enables artists, families, and institutions to protect, manage, and benefit from their creative work. The platform assigns a unique record to every song, story, or image—akin to a digital birth certificate—ensuring ownership and permissions are always clear. It also helps ensure that creators are paid fairly when their work is used, shared, or remixed, including by artificial intelligence.
AXM works with colleges, cultural organizations, and legal experts to build tools that make creativity easier to trust, trade, and preserve for future generations.
About me
Andrew Farrior is the co-founder and COO of AXM, and Director of Practice for the Cultural IP Research Hub at Miles College (HBCU).
He is building Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI) for Authorship—a sovereign-compliant system for managing cultural and creative IP in the AI era. A former creative executive turned infrastructure builder, Andrew bridges law, technology, and culture to make authorship auditable, bankable, and globally interoperable.
His work at AXM has been recognized by WIPO and the Centre For Digital Public Infrastructure (CDPI).
