Human Intelligence® empowers & connects
Genuine Human
Tabletop Creators.

Mission

Human Intelligence® ensures human works remain under the control of human creators. We defend the bright line between authentic human creativity and machine models.

Human Intelligence® puts you in a supportive room of vetted human tabletop makers who will trust and want to engage with the same.

By announcing which side of the “human vs. synthetic” line you’re on, you can:

  • Create meaningful opportunities with people who share your values
  • Get access to proprietary authentication tools and services that prove human origin and protect IP: we verify humanity, certify work as human-made, and safeguard creator rights.

BOARD GAMES:

The Problem for Tabletop Creators

The work of genuine tabletop game creators is under threat by companies that rapaciously scrape and remix real work into synthetic slop. Aspects of your game can be duplicated by AI. 

And they’re doing it without permission or compensation. 

The Solution for Tabletop Creators

We deliver an essential technical authentication layer that enables human tabletop gaming creators to certifiably prove your game’s provenance – so you can fight back against AI overreach.

We maintain an arsenal of registered trademarks and legal safeguards to assist you in retaining the rights to your gameplay, your art, and your IP.

Our Game: Technology

Chain of Creation™ 

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

Reliable Authentication

We deliver a proven layer of trust that reliably authenticates any type of 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 work 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 made by a human.
