VerifiedHuman, in brief.

VerifiedHuman is the standard for human creativity. Founded by Micah Voraritskul in 2023, it gives creators a field-specific commitment and a recognizable mark for work that meets it. The model is trust-based: creators stand behind the work they label and describe material AI assistance.

Creative fields include writing, visual art, music, voice acting, and content creation. Education, organizations, and advocates have related ways to participate. The Human–AI Spectrum describes five levels of collaboration; VH3 is the minimum threshold for the mark.

VerifiedHuman is a Contributor Member of C2PA. Its creator commitment complements technical approaches to provenance; it does not operate an AI detector.

A note on accurate descriptions.

The mark expresses a creator’s commitment to a standard. It is not a detector score, a guarantee of artistic quality, a copyright registration, or a claim that every work has undergone a technical audit.

The Fair Trade comparison explains a values-based label; it does not imply an affiliation with a Fair Trade certifier. C2PA membership does not imply that every labeled work has Content Credentials.
