ABOUT VerifiedHuman
What is VerifiedHuman?
VerifiedHuman is a global certification standard for human-made creative work—like Fair Trade, but for creativity.
Founded in April 2023, we help writers, visual artists, musicians, and voice actors prove their work is authentically human.
VerifiedHuman is not a detection tool. We don't scan content to identify AI. We certify people, not pixels—human creators who voluntarily commit to transparent standards for their work.
Our 5-level Human-AI Spectrum provides clear guidelines for each creative field, defining when AI assistance crosses the line from tool to creator.
Free to join. Pay what you can. Trusted worldwide.
We are just like you.
People who value authentic human work.
We’re optimists and problem-solvers.
We don’t fear progress. We engage it. We don't see AI as a challenge to manage but an opportunity to champion equity, spotlight human contribution, and remind the world of the inherent value of every person.
VerifiedHuman is more than a model for human–AI differentiation. It’s a shared ideal, a global movement toward trust, transparency, and the irreplaceable dignity of human creativity.
WHAT'S AT STAKE?
AI is powerful, fast, and everywhere.
When anything can be automated, copied, or mass-produced, one question arises:
How do we protect what’s authentically human?
We see it in plagiarism and deepfakes—the erosion of trust.
Our students, audiences, and customers deserve to know when a human, not a machine, did the work.
OUR SOLUTION
A simple label.
A shared standard.
-
VerifiedHuman™ provides a values-based mark for human-made work.
-
As Fairtrade does for coffee, our label signals authenticity, transparency, and integrity in creative expression.
How it works
-
Creators and organizations commit to clear, field-specific guidelines.
-
In return, they earn the VerifiedHuman™ label: a trust signal they can display on their work, products, or platforms.
Why it matters
Because human creativity isn’t a commodity.
Because trust has a future only if we protect it now.
Because every field — education, art, business, science — needs clarity about what is genuinely human-authored.
DEVELOPMENT TIMELINE
“Trust is not optional. It’s the foundation of every human endeavor. And even in an age of accelerating technology, the human ethical spirit remains intact — and we must leverage it.”
