Terms and conditions

1. Purpose of the Label
The “ItsNotAI” label indicates that the content it is applied to was likely not generated by artificial intelligence (AI).

There are two versions of the label available:

  • Self-Declared Label
    This version is available for download from our website free of charge and may be used by anyone, being solely based on the user’s personal declaration. We do not review any content associated with the self-declared label.
  • Verified Label
    This version is issued after a review intended to assess, to the best of our ability, whether the submitted content was not generated by AI.

2. Verification Process
We use our own software as well as third-party AI detection tools to assess the submitted content. Such content is shared with third-party software providers solely for the purpose of AI-authorship evaluation. We require these providers to comply with data protection obligations under applicable laws. These tools analyze linguistic patterns or image colour patterns to provide probabilistic results that help guide our decision. Applicants are encouraged to submit optional materials, such as drafts, timestamps, or work-in-progress photos, which may be reviewed manually.

We do not evaluate or make any claims about the content’s subject matter, message, originality, legality, or accuracy. Our assessment is limited solely to whether the content appears to have been directly generated by AI.

In case we believe the content was likely generated by AI, the Verified Label will not be emitted and any fees related to the verification will not be refunded.


3. Limitations of the Verification
We do not fact-check the content.
We do not verify ownership, originality, or legal compliance.
We do not endorse or take responsibility for the views, claims, or other implications of any labeled content.

AI-authorship detection technology is still developing and may produce inaccurate results, based on a probabilistic assessment. Furthermore, the line between AI-generated and human-created content is not absolute, and may involve indirect or partial influence from AI, making it impossible to verify with 100% certainty.

The Verified Label reflects conduct a best-effort evaluation based on the data available at the time of review and therefore only indicates our judgement, that the content does not seem to have been directly generated by AI, which may be subject to errors.


5. Content Display Options

After verification is complete, a link to the content is listed along with its ID on our website to allow the public to view the verified item.

We encourage users to maintain the accuracy and availability of the linked content. We do not claim ownership, and all rights remain with the copyright holder.

If the user requests removal of the verification record or associated link, we will honor the request without charge. For modifications of the link or other data associated with the labeled content, a fee may apply. Such request can be made at contact@itsnotai.org


6. Liability Disclaimer

  • A credible complaint, report, or concern is raised regarding the use of the label
  • The content or its presentation is altered after verification
