The Authors Guild, a US writers' association, has launched the Human Authored project in earnest.
Human Authored is a system that certifies the authorship of a book without using AI, allowing readers to clearly identify the author of a book.
The Authors Guild, an American writers' association, recently announced the Human Authored project and began offering an official mark that can certify authorship by humans, not AI.
The certification system, which was first announced in October 2023 and began in earnest last year, was put in place to help human authors distinguish their work from the books that AI produces in bulk.
Currently, only books written by Authors Guild members and single authors can be certified, but in the future, books written by non-members and co-authors will be included.
Certified books can display a special logo, and readers can search for certified books in a public database. However, while it is possible to certify works that have been partially used by AI as spellcheckers or research tools, works whose literary expressions have been replaced by AI cannot be certified.
