More about VerifiedHuman
What is VerifiedHuman?
A standard and a mark that help people recognize human-made creative work.
VerifiedHuman is a standard and a mark for human creativity. Writers, artists, musicians, voice actors, and other creators join by making a commitment about how their work is made.
A reader may want a writer’s lived experience. A listener may care about the feeling a human performer brings to a song. The mark helps people who value human craftsmanship find the creators behind it. About VerifiedHuman explains our purpose, people, and approach.
What the mark says
The creator stands behind the work as meeting their field’s standard. It is a personal commitment with a public meaning.
Membership does not cover everything a person makes. Members use the mark on work that qualifies. They remain free to make other kinds of work too.
Where AI fits
AI can help with a creative process. The essential writing, image, composition, performance, or production still has to come from people.
The Human–AI Spectrum describes five levels of contribution. Work at VH3, VH4, or VH5 can carry the mark when it also meets its field’s requirements. The definitions explain those requirements. For voice actors, the performance must be human at every qualifying level.
How we stand behind it
Creators agree to a published standard and take responsibility for using the mark honestly. We may review work, including random samples, and bring in an independent reviewer when needed. We do not scan every file or inspect every project.
An AI detector estimates whether material was generated. VerifiedHuman records a creator’s commitment. Those are different kinds of evidence.
