Your AI-free Content Deserves a Badge
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is trained using human-created content. If humans stop producing new content and rely solely on AI, online content across the world may become repetitive and stagnant.
If your content is not AI-generated, add the badge to your work, with pride.

Mission
The Not By AI badges are created to encourage more humans to produce original content and help users identify human-generated content. The Ultimate goal is to make sure humanity continues to advance.
An expert estimates that 90 percent of online content could be generated by AI by 2025.1 With the surge in AI-generated content, it is important to note that AI is trained on human-generated content. If humans rely solely on AI to generate content moving forward, any new content generated by AI may just be recycled content from the past. This could pose a major obstacle to human advancement. Only by limiting the reliance on AI and continuing to create original content can propel us forward as a species.
It is worth mentioning that AI technologies mark a major milestone in the history of technology and the Not By AI badge is not designed to discourage the use of AI. Instead, it is to make sure that, while we celebrate the achievement, we work with AI instead of being replaced by AI.
Who Can Use the Badge
The Not By AI 90% Rule
Understanding that there is a blurred line between what is considered AI-generated vs human-generated, if you are a content creator, such as a writer, researcher, artist, music producer, sound designer, or filmmaker, or a business that provides creative content, and you estimate that at least 90% of your content is created by humans, you are eligible to add the badge into your website, blog, art, film, essay, publications, resume, or whatever your project is. The 90% can include using AI for inspiration purposes, supporting legal documents such as privacy policies (assuming that legal is not the main focus of your content or service), non-user facing content such as SEO meta tags or code, to look for grammatical errors and typos, and to translate content.
The Qualification
If you follow the Not By AI 90% Rule, came to this site as a human, manually downloaded our badges, and made the effort to insert them into your project, you qualify for non-commercial use. Similar to how reCAPTCHA detects humans by analyzing user behavior, this labor-intense process of manually inserting our badges is our way of verification. While it is not bulletproof, Not By AI is not an AI detection tool; our mission is tailored for users who voluntarily want to advocate for human-centric approaches, rather than for those seeking evidence of AI-produced content. You should be the one held accountable for human content. To assist, we offer Creator Pages for you to showcase proofs of your human-created content. Additionally, we manually review all Creator Pages and collaborate with content creators for further validation when necessary. Whenever possible, we also leverage third-party tools to detect potential AI-generated content, while acknowledging that the accuracy of current AI detector technology has not yet been proven.
Not By AI for Business helps your clients, prospects, and users recognize your human-first approach to problem-solving. This is especially important when the business problem they look to solve is complex and requires a tailored solution that is built by trained humans. Below are ways your business can be benefited by Not By AI:
It highlights your customized, human-centric content and solutions.
It sets you apart from the competition.
It builds trust and credibility for your brand.
It proves that your content is safe from AI hallucinations.
Without trained professionals or AI detectors, it is nearly impossible to distinguish your human content from AI-generated content. Using the Not By AI badges helps your audience recognize your human-first approach so they understand that your content is truly from you and not copied and pasted from a generative AI.
More importantly, this fosters awareness and encourages more individuals to produce original content. This process makes sure we, as a species, continue to contribute to human content collectively and prevent content from being replaced by recycled content produced by AI.
Some websites, like WIRED, publish announcements to achieve similar goals. However, these announcements may no longer be visible shortly after their release. With the Not By AI badge, you can ensure that this messaging receives constant exposure.
