US Authors Guild to certify books from ‘human intellect’ rather than AI The Human Authored online portal allows members to register their book and use a specially designed logo on covers and promotional materials.
Author and head of communications at the Institute for the Future of Work, Kester Brewin, opened his book God-Like: A 500-Year History of Artificial Intelligence with an AI transparency statement, laying out where AI had been used in the writing of his book.
“Authors can still qualify if they use AI as a tool for spellchecking 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.”.
The US body representing writers, the Authors Guild, has launched an online portal for members to confirm that their work “emanated from the human intellect” and not from artificial intelligence.
There is no such scheme currently available to authors inBritain, although the UK’s Society of Authors (SoA), has put together guidelines to help its members protect their work from the impact of AI.
