The published Verified Human certification standard

The standard defines the characteristic being certified, the evidence tiers for music, the certified components for podcasts, and the disclosure and revocation rules.

• Certification is not AI detection and does not mean that no AI tool was used. AI assistance is disclosed where the applicable standard requires it.
• Verified Human is a USPTO certification mark, Serial No. 99666944. This identifies the certification program and does not imply government endorsement.
• Published metadata from sources such as MusicBrainz, Discogs, Spotify, and Apple Music may be consulted where available. Those references describe metadata use and do not imply affiliation or endorsement.
