HAMP Mark — Human and Machine Provenance
Draft 0.1 — for discussion
Connected forms. Reuse terms remain undecided.

HAMP Mark: Human-created
People develop the creative ideas and expression. Ordinary digital tools, proofreading and technical processing are compatible with this, including AI used for these tasks where it preserves the work’s creative content and intended expression.

HAMP Mark: Human-led creation
People establish the creative direction and substantially shape the result. AI generates or reworks expressive material retained in the finished work.

HAMP Mark: Shared creative development
Human contributions and AI proposals repeatedly reshape both the concept and its expression.

HAMP Mark: AI-led, human-shaped
AI establishes most of the creative concept, structure and material. People make substantive selections, edits or adaptations.

HAMP Mark: AI-generated
AI produces the creative content from a brief, with minimal subsequent human shaping.
