Establishing Global Integrity

A Clear Standard for Human and AI-Created Work

The Human Standard™ provides independent verification of how content is created, helping publishers bring transparency and trust to their work.

Three clear designations. One shared framework.

Human Created (HC)

Human Guided (HG)

AI Generated (AIG)

Trust in Content Is Under Pressure

AI is rapidly changing how content is produced. As adoption expands, the distinction between human-created and AI-generated work is becoming harder to see.

For publishers, this creates a growing challenge: maintaining credibility with audiences while adapting to new tools and workflows.

Without a clear standard, content risks being questioned, regardless of how it was created.

A Standard for Transparency and Trust

The Human Standard™ defines a consistent way to classify content based on the level of human involvement.

Each designation is grounded in structured evaluation, combining AI-supported analysis with human review.

The result is a clear, repeatable standard that publishers can apply across their content.

Human Created (HC)

Human-created content, with AI used only in a limited, assistive role.

Human Guided (HG)

Content shaped by human direction, with meaningful contribution from AI tools.

AI Generated (AIG)

Content primarily produced by AI, with limited human involvement.

How Verification Works

Built for Publishing Organizations

The Human Standard is designed for publishers and organizations responsible for producing and distributing content at scale.

We work directly with publishing partners to apply the standard consistently across their content, supporting transparency, accountability, and long-term trust with audiences.
