It’s a strange thing to have to add a logo to a book to show it’s been written by a human, but such is this new world of AI generated books. The Human Authored scheme was designed by the Authors Guild in the States, and was launched in the UK in March 2026 with the Society of Authors.
The idea is to ‘give readers confidence that a work is genuinely human crafted’. Today nearly 60% of UK authors say their career is ‘no longer sustainable’ because of unregulated generative AI.
Private Inquiries, out in paperback in May 2026, will be a History Press first, with the Human Authored logo on the copyright page.
