AI-MADE
Use when generative AI produced the main or essential part of the result. A person may still have directed, selected, edited or reviewed it.
For example: an illustration generated from prompts and then art-directed by a human.
THE AI USE: DECLARED BADGE SYSTEM
Show how AI was used.
One primary badge describes the project’s overall relationship with AI. Optional qualifiers add useful detail. Choose the most transparent category when more than one seems possible.
01
CHOOSE EXACTLY ONE
Primary badges
AI-ASSISTED
Use for human-led work where generative AI made substantial contributions to ideas, writing, code, design or production.
For example: a developer designed the product while AI generated meaningful portions of its code.
AI-EDITED
Use when the original content is human-made and AI only appears later for correction, retouching, cleanup, translation or post-production.
For example: a human photograph cleaned up with generative removal tools.
NO GENERATIVE AI
Use when no generative AI created or transformed content. Analytical systems for classification, detection, prediction or recommendations may be present.
For example: a human-designed app that uses a recommendation algorithm.
NO AI USED
Use when no generative or analytical AI system was used in producing the project.
For example: a hand-coded website made without AI tools or AI-powered features.
02
ADD ONLY WHAT APPLIES
Optional qualifiers
HUMAN-REVIEWED
A person meaningfully reviewed the result before publication. This does not itself certify truth, safety or freedom from errors.
AI-TRANSLATED
A significant part of the text was translated using AI. Add HUMAN-REVIEWED when a person properly reviewed the translation.
SYNTHETIC VOICE
The project contains AI-generated narration, synthetic speech or an applicable cloned voice.
AI-GENERATED IMAGES
The project contains images created wholly or partly with generative AI.
AI-GENERATED CODE
AI generated a meaningful portion of the code. Trivial autocomplete alone does not require this badge.
AI-GENERATED VIDEO
The project contains video created or materially transformed with generative AI, including clips, reels, stories, animation and longer-form sequences.
AI-GENERATED TEXT
AI participated meaningfully in writing, synthesising, restructuring or expanding the text. Trivial spelling fixes or autocomplete alone do not require this badge.
KEEP IT COHERENT
Honesty comes before optics.
- NO AI USED may only be paired with HUMAN-REVIEWED.
- NO GENERATIVE AI cannot be paired with generative-AI qualifiers.
- When in doubt, choose the category that makes AI’s involvement more visible.
