YORK (AP) — The Authors Guild has set up an online portal for
members to certify that their books “emanated from the human
intellect” and not from artificial intelligence.
The guild, a nonprofit that includes thousands of writers, is
calling the initiative "Human Authored."
“The Human Authored initiative isn’t about rejecting technology
— it’s about creating transparency, acknowledging the reader’s
desire for human connection, and celebrating the uniquely human
elements of storytelling,” guild CEO Mary Rasenberger said in a
statement Wednesday. “Authors can still qualify if they use AI
as a tool for spell-checking or research, but the certification
connotes that the literary expression itself, with the unique
human voice that every author brings to their writing, emanated
from the human intellect.”
According to the guild, authors can have their work certified by
logging into the portal, entering information about their book
and signing a licensing agreement that will enable them to use a
specially designed logo on “book covers, spines, or promotional
materials.”
The guild plans to register the “Human Authored” logo with the
U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and eventually open the system
to nonmembers.
