Badges

The badge systems

Three badge systems, one for each side of the rights economy. All certification is human-led and expert-led, and applies to works and organizational processes, not individuals.

For Creators and Publishers

Creative Origin

Signals the role of AI in a specific creative work. For creators and publishers who want their audience to know how a work was made, from a fully human-composed novel to an AI-generated image, with the middle ground disclosed honestly.

Creative Origin badge: Legacy Creation
Legacy Creation
  • Human Composed: the work was composed by a human, without generative AI composing it.
  • AI Assisted: a person made the work with help from AI tools.
  • AI Generated: the work was generated by AI.
  • Legacy Creation: the work was made before November 2022, predating generative AI tools.

Two ways to display it: a free self-declared disclosure badge you generate yourself, or a paid, expert-reviewed certified badge with a registry record.

Working in more than one format? The multi-format Creative Origin composer builds a combined origin bar for works that mix text, art, music, code, video, and voices. It is an earlier generation of the badge tool and displays the earlier badge designs.

For AI Companies

Commercial Safety

Demonstrates that an AI company's training data practices and disclosure standards are ready for emerging regulation, including the EU AI Act and California AB 2013. For AI companies that want to show customers and partners their training practices stand on licensed, documented sourcing.

  • Full: a comprehensive review of how the company sources, licenses, and governs its training data.
  • Guardrail: certifies the company's safety measures and bias testing.
  • Provisional: for models still in development or beta.

Our disclosure badges are free to use. We charge for expert-led certification because expert review is real labor and deserves real compensation. Looking for the wider landscape? Browse the AI disclosure standards catalog.
