Proudly Human launches certification for AI-free books

Proudly Human has launched a certification program to verify that books are written entirely by humans. Authors seeking this certification must attest that their use of AI was minimal, excluding AI from sentence generation but allowing it for tasks like spell-checking or brainstorming. Each submitted manuscript will undergo testing by four AI detection tools, with certification costing $60 per title. AI

IMPACT This initiative may influence publishing standards and author practices regarding AI use in creative writing.
