We’re excited to announce a partnership between Created by Humans and The Authors Guild, the nation's oldest and largest professional organization for writers. Through this collaboration, The Authors Guild will promote Created by Humans to its 14,000+ members and help us make decisions about how to best serve the author community through our platform. We're especially excited to welcome the Authors Guild CEO, Mary Rasenberger, to our advisory board. Thank you to Alexandra Alter and The New York Times for helping break the news. As the tension between AI’s potential and content creators' rights intensifies, many authors and publishers are understandably concerned about the unauthorized use of their copyrighted works. We are committed to building a bridge between creators and AI companies. Our platform offers authors a transparent way to control, manage, and monetize their content, while giving AI developers access to a curated library of high-quality, authorized written works. This mutually beneficial relationship is built on the foundation of full consent from rights holders. The Authors Guild has long been at the forefront of advocating for authors' rights in the AI era. From championing AI transparency legislation to developing best practices for authors navigating this new landscape, their dedication to the creative community aligns perfectly with our mission. Together, we’re shaping the future of publishing — one that balances the needs of creators, technology, and society. Read the full story: https://bit.ly/4eX78Hj

Thank you to Porter Anderson from Publishing Perspectives for the deep dive on Created by Humans. It's not every day that we appear in a headline alongside Isaac Asimov! The world Isaac Asimov envisioned in 1942 when he proposed the Three Laws of Robotics has evolved into something far more nuanced. Today, we need a contemporary framework that addresses the intricate relationship between human creators and AI. Building upon Asimov's vision, we created The Fourth Law, a set of principles designed to foster mutually beneficial coexistence between human creators and artificial intelligence. This framework aims to respect the rights of creators while harnessing the potential of AI to enhance and amplify human creativity. The Fourth Law is built upon five key principles: ? Consent: AI should only learn from human works after obtaining permission from rights holders. ? Control: Content creators should have a say in how AI uses their works. ? Compensation: If requested, AI must provide compensation for using human work. ? Credit: AI must attribute creators when their work is used for training or in outputs. ? Continuous Learning: AI should continually learn from the latest human behavior and creative output. This creates a dynamic ecosystem where human creativity enhances AI capabilities, fostering progress. Our AI Rights management platform puts these principles into practice. Our goal is to create an environment where authors can set AI rights licensing terms, control usage, and receive fair compensation for their work. AI developers can easily access the best of human-created works with the full buy-in and support of creators. We invite creators, technologists, policymakers, and all stakeholders to join us in adopting and refining these principles. Together, we can shape a future that honors human creativity while embracing the potential of AI. You can read the full article here: https://bit.ly/3Wq6FXz

Thank you Publishers Weekly for helping us share our launch news with the industry. Our goal is to create a bridge between copyright holders and AI developers. As our CEO Trip Adler stated in the article, "The benefit for authors, publishers, and other rights holders who opt into Created by Humans is that they will have a new revenue stream and distribution source... while tech companies who take part will be able to move faster and have more accurate models with legally sound, curated, and up-to-date data from multiple sources."

Human creativity is at a crossroads. Down one path, we risk a future where writers, artists, and creatives are no longer creating because there is no business model to support them. Down the other, a world where their ideas are rewarded and directly fueling AI.? At Created by Humans, we believe in a future where great minds continue to have a reason to think, dream, and propel humanity forward. We're building an AI Rights licensing platform that makes it easy for creators to license their work for use by AI developers, and for AI companies to access high-quality, legally-sound content that will create accurate systems. Learn why we believe this will create a win/win/win for creators, AI developers and humanity in our manifesto.
