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 art.
To do this, we provide a foundational trifecta of authentication tools and services that prove human origin and protect IP: we verify humanity, certify work as human-made, and safeguard creator rights.
Because humans create.
Machines merely imitate.
Human Intelligence® protects, preserves and proclaims the value of human creative work.
Strategy
The Problem
The Solution
We deliver an essential technical authentication layer that enables human creators to certifiably prove your work’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 IP.
How to Get our Mark of Approval
When you are verified and your work is certified, you receive a license to use our mark (Start here.)
Use of the registered Humanright™ 
trademark assures your audience that your work is human-made. The mark also notifies companies that your work cannot be used without permission.
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 creator’s 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.™
