COMMUNITY
Join a global network of like-minded creators.
Generative AI has created a problem: distinguishing between what humans and machines create.
We do what humans have always done.
Figure it out. Find and use better tools. Make things that matter. Trust in the greater good.
What are we to do?
A big part of the solution...
VerifiedHuman™ doesn't claim all the answers, but we're shining a light on a huge (surprisingly absent) part of the solution.
Everyone wins.
When we embrace the benefits of AI and are transparent about how we create, everyone wins.
...Starts with a simple question
This isn't a problem laws can solve. Nor technology. People have to solve it. It's a people problem. So we asked a simple question. Is there a human solution?
DEVELOPMENT TIMELINE
"The value of trust should not be dismissed. It is paramount in this effort...we believe the human ethical spirit remains intact, and we must leverage it."

We are just like you.
People who value authentic human work.
We are optimists and problem-solvers.
We don't despair in the face of progress. We embrace it and choose to move with it.
For us, the challenges posed by AI aren't problems to mitigate but opportunities to drive society toward equity–to shine a light on individual human contribution in an evolving world.
In this way, VerifiedHuman™ is not simply a model for human-AI differentiation. Instead, the ideals we share become part of a new global appreciation for the inherent value of every human person.

New! Human-AI Spectrum
We understand that many creators (including us) use AI in their creative process and use hardware and software tools embedded with AI. We support this but see the need to give creators a clear way to delineate their work from AI. As a new part of our labeling, creators can use a numerical designation indicating the level of human-AI collaboration in the creation process. | Human-AI spectrum

Creators (1) agree to a standard in their area, (2) get the VerifiedHuman™ label to use on their brand, created content, and other media to (3) show the world they're the real human creator.
