Proudly Human is a staunch defender of the role of storytelling as a fundamental part of our humanity. By certifying the works of novelist Sarah Martin with our globally independent trust mark, readers are assured they are choosing human created over AI-generated.
The ProudlyHuman™ trust mark is printed on all Sarah’s books. Sarah’s writing reflects contemporary life and relationships. The certification of her storytelling as human-generated, not AI, makes it even more meaningful.
"The value of content lies not just in quality but in its unique provenance,” said Dr Alan Finkel, Chairman, Proudly Human. “While AI can replicate human styles, it cannot create narratives rooted in the pain and joy of human life. The Proudly Human trust mark allows readers to choose human-generated content, and creators to be appropriately recognised for their work.”
According to Sarah, “when I learnt that I could put my six new novels through the process of certifying that they were written without any help from AI, it seemed a good idea to make that claim in this era when AI generated books are popping up all over the place.”
Sarah also put her biography of Davis McCaughey through the same process, even though it was written and published well before AI had taken hold.
“In the future, when no-one remembers when AI began, it might be useful to carry the Proudly Human trust mark to identify its human authorship,” explains Sarah.
