Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) is here to stay and is estimated to impact over 300 million jobs just like yours.**

The Solution to AI Generated Content.

The Human Creator Alliance is a Public Benefit Corporation with a social mission to mitigate the disruptive effects of generative AI-created content.

Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) is quickly changing the creative ecosystem, the job market, and how we deal with misinformation, intellectual property rights, and large-scale cheating and fraud in academia.

**According to a research report published on 04/05/2023 by Goldman Sachs.

We think there is a better way for humans to co-exist with AI, so we are creating a platform designed to help creators navigate a world quickly changing from disruptive Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools such as ChatGPT, BARD, DALL-E, MidJourney, and many others.

We believe the key is to build a foundation of trust, transparency, and authenticity. In this way, we can create a platform to change how economic market forces value generative AI-created content. We believe there is inherent and intrinsic value to human-created works like art, writing, and music, and we seek to provide a mechanism to bring clarity to the marketplace. Ultimately human-created works will always have more value than what is essentially commodified content, we simply need a way to tell the difference.

That’s why we have partnered with Credly, the leader in verified digital credentials, to create a series of certifications to bring back trust, transparency, and accountability to the marketplace and creative ecosystem. Now writers, artists, coders, and anyone else who creates can strengthen their brand against generative AI and proudly demonstrate that they are an Authentic Human Creator.

We are also a member of the Content Authenticity Initiative (CAI), a group of media and tech companies, NGOs, academics, creators, technologists, journalists, activists, and leaders who seek to address misinformation and content authenticity at scale. Members include Adobe, Microsoft, Reuters, The New York Times, the BBC, the Associated Press, NVidia, Qualcomm, Canon, Getty Images, and many others. 

As a member of the CAI, the Human Creator Alliance has direct support from the CIA team as we develop and implement our own open standards-based content authenticity feature integrations into our membership platform

FAQ

  • The Human Creator Alliance is a Public Benefit Corporation (PBC) with a social mission to mitigate the disruptive effects that generative AI-created content is having on the world.

    Generative AI is changing economic market forces in a way that devalues human creators: artists, writers, coders, designers, and everyone else who creates.

    We’re here to fix this, so we are creating a platform to change how the marketplace values generative AI-created content. We believe there is inherent and intrinsic value to human-created works such as art, writing, and music, and we don’t want to live in a world that doesn’t feel the same way.

  • Generative AI is a type of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology that can produce a variety of content, including text, graphics, audio, video, and many other forms of data and media. Examples include ChatGPT, Dall-E, and Bard. The rapid growth of generative AI is partially due to its easy-to-use interfaces, which are typically prompt-based and can nearly instantaneously create high-quality images, writing, video, music, and more.

  • Generative AI is an exciting and amazing technology, but it is also causing widespread controversy and many experts identify several key risks.

    The risk to jobs and the economy:

    Generative AI can create human-like works, varying from literature, news articles, essays, scientific and research reports, artwork, designs, graphics, audio and video recordings, and anything else that can be created digitally. This is estimated to have a major impact on the job market. A recent research report published by Goldman Sachs predicts over 300 million jobs will be affected. And in an OpenAI (the creators of ChatGPT) research paper, they estimate that 80% of jobs will be impacted by AI.

    The risk of misinformation:

    As mentioned above, generative AI can create human-like works at scale, and can include misleading and fake news articles, papers, essays, audio, and video. The proliferation of misinformation in recent years due to social media is already a major problem in the world, but the ability to mass produce this misinformation at scale will only exacerbate this issue.

    Widespread intellectual property infringement.

    Generative AI platforms are trained on vast quantities of data scraped from the internet. This includes lots of copyrighted material, such as artwork, literature, and music. In turn, the elements of this copyrighted material are incorporated into the outputs produced by generative AI. This is problematic because it violates the Intellectual Property of the copyright holders, and it puts the user of the AI-generated output at potential legal risk. This has already resulted in the initiation of multiple high-profile lawsuits, including a class action motion.

  • No, we are not against Artificial Intelligence (AI) overall. We are cautiously optimistic about many of the great benefits that certain forms of AI research are having in fields such as science and medicine. It also should be noted that generative AI is only one subset of Artificial Intelligence, which is a vast and worthy field of scientific research in its own right. Indeed, generative AI represents an astounding and impressive feat of human achievement. It is one of the most powerful tools our species have ever created. We also believe great power like this should also come with great responsibility. We agree with this open letter calling for a temporary pause on AI experiments so that they can be "...planned for and managed with commensurate care and resources.".

  • We seek to create a platform to restore trust, transparency, and accountability to the marketplace and creative ecosystem.

    Our first initiative on this front is to create a series of certifications to help creators, writers, artists, etc., demonstrate to the world that they follow our Ethical Standards towards the usage of generative AI, as outlined in our Code of Ethics, and AI Content Guidelines. To this end, we have partnered with Credly, the leader in verified digital credentials, to provide hosting and validation of our certifications.

    In addition to additional levels of certifications and organization credentialing, our future initiatives include leveraging our membership with the Content Authenticity Initiative (CAI) to develop and implement our own open standards-based content authenticity and provenance technology integrations, as well as developing additional types of AI detection and validation.

  • Yes, absolutely!

    While our platform is perfect for creators who want to clearly demonstrate that their works are original human creations and do not use generative AI, we understand some people will want to be able to embrace and use generative AI in their creations.

    To them, we say, yes, but you also must strictly adhere to our ethical framework as outlined in our Code of Ethics. In a nutshell, this means you will be required to be radically transparent and honest about how, where, and when you use generative AI in your works at all times.

    We believe that this approach will foster and encourage a healthy AI creative ecosystem, and we hope creators who enjoy working with AI tools embrace the benefits of adding a layer of trust to their brand.

  • We have chosen to partner with Credly because they are the best-in-class when it comes to verified digital credentialing. Credly badges follow metadata best practices to ensure the highest quality digital credential ecosystem. They have issued tens of millions of digital credentials on a proven scalable platform that includes powerhouses like IBM, Oracle, and Microsoft as well as hundreds of other organizations. Credly badges are universally verifiable from an authoritative source, and empower us with the ability to revoke badges should a user violate our Code of Ethics or Terms of Use, a feature necessary to provide integrity to our system and give our certifications a real-world impact.

  • You are allowed to cancel your membership at any time but be advised that you will lose all membership benefits, including any digital credentials you may have earned from us, which will be revoked on the Credly platform. Our digital credentials are only available to Members in Good Standing because the integrity of our system requires us to investigate violations of our Code of Ethics and Terms of Use, which incurs an ongoing cost to us for providing our unique credentialing service.

  • If you suspect any breaches of our Code of Ethics or misuse of our Credly credentials, please report to ethics@humancreatoralliance.org. Please report violations of our Terms of Use or Acceptable Use Policy to support@humancreatoralliance.org.
