Words define what it means to be human.

As AI makes imitation easy, VerifiedHuman™ helps writers protect the integrity of their human-made work.

When AI can generate thousands of words in seconds, readers deserve to know your work came from human thought and experience.

The VerifiedHuman™ mark lets you—

  • Certify your work as human-authored

  • Build trust with your readers and publishers

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

  • Join a global movement for human creativity

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

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

  • AI can assist with technical tasks, research, 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.
