Understanding VerifiedHuman
A personal commitment. A shared meaning.
Certification begins with a creator taking responsibility for the work they label.
Read the standard for your field.
Each field names its essential human contribution. Writers author the writing; visual artists create or capture the visual work; musicians compose the music; voice actors give the vocal performance; content creators produce the content. The definitions address the practical cases within each field.
Understand what AI assistance changes.
VH3, VH4, and VH5 on the Human–AI Spectrum qualify for the mark. These are descriptions of a creative process, not percentages. The field-specific requirements still apply: for example, a synthetic or cloned voice does not become a human performance through editing.
Make the commitment.
Complete the form for your field and agree to its standard and terms. The commitment is made openly and voluntarily. Membership is free if you need it; financial contributions support the work of the community.
Use the mark on qualifying work.
Download the approved assets and follow the brand guide. Apply the mark only where the work meets the standard. If you publish other work made primarily by AI, keep the label off that work and explain the distinction honestly.
Stand behind the claim.
The mark connects a work to a creator’s responsibility. Be prepared to explain your process when a reasonable question arises. A concern about misuse can be brought to VerifiedHuman for review; certification is not an assertion that every file has already undergone an independent technical examination.
