COPODE and I are pleased to announce the launch of the '100%
Inhuman Made' badges project. <br>
<br>
We’ve marked the launch with a post on the LSE Impact Blog
titled ‘Nothing is “100% human authored”’:</span></font></p>

data-testid="expandable-text-box"> starts from a simple
observation: generative AI is unsettling long-standing
conventions of authorship, ownership and credit across
academia and the cultural industries.<br>
<br>
Much of the response so far has focused on reaffirming the
role of the authentic individual human as author or artist.
But what if that starting point is itself part of the problem?<br>
<br>
The 100% Inhuman Made project explores an alternative:
challenging the idea that any work is ever purely 100%
human-made, and instead foregrounding the distributed,
collaborative and infrastructural elements - human and
nonhuman, including often hidden forms of labour - involved in
creating knowledge and culture.<br>
<br>
From this perspective, a 100% Inhuman Made badge is less a
label than an invitation: to think again about what we mean by
creativity, authorship and even the human in a world shaped by
climate breakdown and the rapid take-up of AI.</span></font></p>
<p><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">The 100% Inhuman Made
badges (and their underlying code) are released on a CC2r:
Collective Commitment to Reuse basis. If this invitation
resonates, feel free to generate a badge using the 100% Inhuman
