Humans create.
Machines imitate.

Human Intelligence® empowers Genuine
Human Creators

Mission

Human Intelligence® ensures human works remain under the control of human creators. We defend the bright line between authentic human creativity and the machine models that ingest and co-opt real human work.

To do this, we provide a foundational trifecta of authentication tools and services that prove human origin and protect IP: we verify humanity, certify your work as human-made, and safeguard the rights of creators.

Because humans create.

Machines merely imitate.


Human Intelligence® protects, preserves and proclaims the value of human creative work. 


Story

The Problem

The work of genuine human creators is under threat by companies that rapaciously scrape and remix real human work into synthetic slop.

And they’re doing it without permission or compensation. 

The Solution

We deliver an essential technical authentication layer that enables human creators to certifiably prove the provenance of your work – so you can fight back against AI overreach.

We maintain an arsenal of registered trademarks and legal safeguards to assist creators like you in retaining the rights to your designs and work.

Tools: Our Technological Edge

Chain of Creation™ 

Human Intelligence® tools focus on provenance: rather than “detecting” AI in published work after creation, we follow certain tell-tale signs unique to the human creative process. Our patent-pending systems don’t ingest your actual work or designs at all – instead we examine the plume of activity each work carries with it, which helps us to reliably identify the chain of creation.™ 

Reliable Authentication

We deliver a proven layer of trust that reliably authenticates human work. Our proprietary method begins by locking down a creator’s biometrically-secured identity, verifying each creator as a natural person. Our system then analyzes works for specific markers that result from human creative processes. When we find these key attributes, we register the work as certified Human Intelligence® – i.e., work that we authenticate as having been actually created by a human.
