How to demonstrate human authorship

Start with what happened

Explain which parts you made, who else contributed, and where AI helped. Be specific. “AI-assisted” can describe anything from cleaning up a recording to generating its main content.

For example: “I wrote and recorded the narration. AI removed background noise. It did not generate the voice.”

Keep useful evidence

Drafts, source files, sketches, recordings, version history, and collaborators’ credits can support your account. Keep the evidence that makes sense for your work. A writer’s drafts and a voice actor’s raw recordings answer different questions.

These materials are useful when a reader, client, teacher, or reviewer asks how you made something. They are not a guarantee that every dispute will be resolved in your favor.

Explain the role of the mark

The mark says you have committed to the standard for your field and are using it on work that meets that standard. You remain responsible for that claim.

VerifiedHuman may ask about the work and its process. About explains reviews and how to raise a concern.

File history and creative authorship

Content Credentials can record information about a file’s origin and edits. A process statement describes the creative work. They can help answer different parts of the same question.

VerifiedHuman is a C2PA Contributor Member. That does not mean every work carrying our mark has Content Credentials.

If authorship is questioned, start with the actual work and evidence. Membership does not automatically settle a detector result, school decision, or contract dispute.
