VerifiedHuman™ HUMAN-AI SPECTRUM
IMPORTANT:
-
You can use AI tools and still be VerifiedHuman certified.
The VerifiedHuman™ mark only applies to work rated VH3 or above—where you lead the creative process, and AI assists.
-
Think of it like Fair Trade coffee: a company can produce both Fair Trade and conventional beans.
The label goes on the product that meets the standard, not everything the producer makes.
-
You can be a VerifiedHuman member and create both VH-certified work and AI-heavy work.
Just use the mark only on work that qualifies.
What the spectrum measures
-
These rubrics define a clear continuum for assessing the level of collaboration between humans and AI in the creative process.
-
They help creators and organizations understand and disclose how much of a work is human-made versus AI-assisted.
VerifiedHuman™ labels may include a VH rating when applicable, but only levels VH3 and above qualify for the VerifiedHuman™ mark.
