Humanright™ Mark Unveiled

Excited to have Rick Turoczy of Silicon Florist cover our launch.

During your time on the Internet, you’ve likely run across the Creative Commons mark, an series of marks designed to indicate that content carries with it the rights for others to use it in certain ways. It’s designed to be a way to make knowledge and objects more easily shareable. Now, the Human Intelligence™ Institute is taking a similar tact — only this time it’s designed to enable humans to differentiate their content from content generated by AI.

And now — much like Roland Emmerich and Jeff Goldblum before them — they’re took a different approach to the concept of Independence Day, this year.

We imagine a future where humanity is thriving: this means that people enjoy creative work created by other people and take pleasure in studying the history of human creativity (ie. the humanities) and have the time and capacity to make art and handcrafts. Built on this solid intellectual foundation, critical thinking and technological innovation continue to make the world safer, healthier and better, continuing the positive trend lines we’ve seen over the past 100 years. These human-centered characteristics are worth protecting because they are the foundational keystones of optimistic future societies in which people are happy, healthy, fulfilled and functioning. It is a future where people of all cultures create works that have enduring cultural value for the next generation of humanity to enjoy.

There are many who share this positive vision, from The Center for Humane Technology to the Distributed AI Research Institute to organizations like FairlyTrained, the Algorithmic Justice League and our own team at The Human Intelligence™ Institute.

If this resonates with you, you can get started with this Portland-based project by identifying yourself as a “human creator” or reading more about this take on Independence Day.
