Music carries what words cannot.

As AI makes imitation easy, VerifiedHuman™ helps musicians protect the integrity of human-made sound.

When AI can generate compositions in seconds, listeners deserve to know your work came from human emotion and musicianship. 

The VerifiedHuman™ mark lets you—

  • Certify your music as human-composed

  • Build trust with audiences, labels, and venues

  • Stand out in a market flooded with AI-generated music

  • Join a global movement for human creativity

Can I use AI and still use the VerifiedHuman™ mark?

YES—if your work is essentially human-composed (VH3 or above on our Human-AI spectrum).

  • AI can assist with technical tasks, mixing, or refinement, but you must lead the creative process.

  • The mark applies to specific works, not your entire portfolio. See our FAQ for detailed examples.

About VerifiedHuman for Musicians

Musicians who join VerifiedHuman certify their work as essentially human-composed and human-performed, not AI-generated. Our standard allows AI for technical tasks such as mixing, mastering, audio cleanup, notation software, and chord progression suggestions, but requires human creativity to lead composition, arrangement, and performance. The musician must originate melodies, make harmonic decisions, and deliver authentic human performance.
