Manifesto

We proclaim, protect and preserve these important truths for Human Creators.

Creative expression is the heartbeat of humanity. This experience cannot be replaced by synthetic work or artificial creation. 

    We rise, together.

    Principles

    PRINCIPLE 1
    HUMAN WORK IS UNIQUE

    Human work is inherently more meaningful than artificially generated content. The unique spark of human creativity cannot be fully duplicated by any machine process.

    PRINCIPLE 2
    HUMAN ORIGIN MATTERS

    Work created by humans is important because it’s made by a human. It doesn’t need any other justification — human provenance makes it intrinsically meaningful.

    PRINCIPLE 3
    HONEST ORIGINS

    Every piece of work, whether made by humans or by digital means, should clearly identify its origins and the materials used to create that work. Derivative works must be properly labeled with transparent, human-readable information about provenance and the humans who created the original work.
       
    Real artists tell the truth: certification helps us all.  

    PRINCIPLE 4
    ACCESS TO HUMAN CREATIVITY

    Everyone deserves access to experience genuine human creative work — this is a basic right worth protecting. Artificially generated content is never a substitute for the real thing.

    PRINCIPLE 5
    THE POWER TO DISTINGUISH

    People have the right to use tools to tell the difference between human-made work and digitally generated imitations. Humans have the right to reject, diminish and not pay for digital imitations of human work and to demand genuine human work.

    PRINCIPLE 6
    CONTROL AND PROFIT

    Human work is owned by the creator of that work. Humans should always own the continuing rights and rewards for work that stems from their ideas. Creators deserve to continuously profit from their work and control how it’s used, even well into the future. Intellectual property rights are moral creative rights that cannot be willfully ceded to any corporate entity, machine system or synthetic substitute.
