A Milestone in Protecting the Value and Authenticity of Human Work 

Registration on the Supplemental Registry conveys legal recognition and protection under U.S. trademark law. It’s a valuable milestone toward reinforcing brand identity and integrity while strengthening the Institute’s ability to provide tools and solutions that restore power to creators everywhere.  

This accomplishment continues the Institute’s momentum that started in 2024 with official registration of the Humanright™    logomark, a registered mark, image styling and font that can be licensed to any human creator, attached to human-created works, and adopted by organizations at scale. 

Why It Matters

As stated in the Human Intelligence Institute’s launch manifesto, every human being is a creator. But in the age of generative AI, where everything published to any publicly available digital platform is subsumed and co-opted (often illegally) by ravenous AI datasets to feed their training, inference, and fine-tuning protocols, human-made creations, now and increasingly, need to be authentically proven as “not made by AI.”

The HUMAN INTELLIGENCE® and circular Humanright™  marks complement the Institute’s proprietary software, which systematically analyzes a human creator’s work to lock down proof of human origin. The Institute’s package of licensable trademarks and tools effectively forms a solid, supportive foundation for the global ecosystem of human creators, protecting them from AI theft and plagiarism. 

How to Get Started

Whatever your focus — writing, photography, painting, videography, illustration, ceramics, music, moviemaking, digital art, and so much more, you can join the movement to keep AI in its lane (and out of yours) in two easy steps:

1. Verify yourself as a Human Creator. Proclaim your bona fide humanity and get a lifetime certificate of authenticity, including a unique Identifier that’s findable in a globally accessible, privately protected registry. This verification comes with early access to the Institute’s evolving set of tools to authenticate, protect, and promote your work. 
2. Certify your work. Submit your work to the diligence of the Institute’s proprietary software to prove it is, indeed, your creation. Each certified work comes with a printable certificate of authenticity and unique identifier, both of which are findable in the same registry noted above. Currently, you can certify published books and writing, photography and digital arts, and physical artworks. Music and video certifications are coming soon. For a limited time, certifying your work is free. 
3. Power Your Business with Humans. Nonprofits, guilds, corporations, publishers and creative agencies are standing up for the rights of the human creators who power their enterprises. Today, many are becoming certified with the Institute, in order to protect their intellectual property and the livelihoods of their constituent members and the entire ecosystem of human creativity.
