Why creatives certify

Maryanne Moodie · Tapestry

“In a world where AI can generate images in seconds, human-made is personal, which audiences want and respect. The Proudly Human verification is the answer to this critical and time-sensitive issue for the creative arts.”

Luci Schroder · Film

“Artificial intelligence can imitate patterns, replicate styles, and generate convincing story lines and images. But it will never have blood running through its veins or house a soul.”

Peter Lewis · Columnist

“The Proudly Human certification process establishes the acceptable and unacceptable usages of AI in creative works and gives people like me agency in how we work.”
