Creative AI Use Disclosure (CAUD) Label
The CAUD label is a standard disclosure label that provides transparency to consumers on Generative AI’s level of contribution to a creative work.
Why is this important?
Provides transparency on where and how AI supported the creative process, allowing the audience to focus on the human-led creative aspects of the work, thus giving more credit to the human creator than the tool and trust to the content.
By disclosing AI’s involvement, the creative community can normalize proper and ethical use of AI in supporting the creative process, thus inspiring and sharing best practices with one another to further enhance human creativity.
Disclosure may support creators on qualifying their works for obtaining US copyright if the works were enhanced but not fully created by AI.

-
Nature of AI’s Contribution (“How was AI used?”)
-

Useful Arts generates standard label disclosing critical elements regarding the use of Gen AI:
-

-
Purpose of AI Use (e.g. Efficiency / Speed, Ideation / Inspiration, Accessibility, Technical Enhancement, Cost-saving, Aesthetic Choice)
-
Tools Used
-
Disclosure of Ethical Considerations (e.g. synthetic likeness of actor with consent)
-
Verification (e.g. self-disclosed, verified by 3rd party, or audited by 3rd party)
