AI is here to stay.
Honesty should stay with it.

Free disclosure texts that anyone may copy, edit and place beneath an AI-assisted text, image, video or other creative work.

Using AI is not something to hide. A short, accurate explanation helps viewers and readers understand what the person contributed and what artificial intelligence contributed.

Choose the statement that most honestly describes your work. Replace YOUR NAME, edit any details that do not apply, and copy the finished text.

Use the right badge honestly

Choose a disclosure package for a specific work, or a supporter badge for your general support of AI transparency.

Important: A badge alone is not an AI disclosure. The disclosure badge must be placed beside the disclosure text or linked directly to it.

This package uses the statement you created in the builder above. Download it as a 16:9 landscape or 9:16 portrait PNG for videos, social media and other publications.

Describe the real contribution

AI use is not all-or-nothing. Say what you created, what AI helped with and whether you reviewed the final result.

Choose accuracy over labels

Do not describe work as merely “AI-assisted” when AI made nearly all of it—and do not deny your own contribution when you supplied the ideas, knowledge and direction.
