Dubai's classification system for AI-assisted content: Is it mandatory?
A Human-Machine Collaboration (HMC) classification system launched by the Dubai Crown Prince on Wednesday is not mandatory, except for Dubai Government entities or those working with the Dubai Government. "They are meant to encourage honest self-assessment and transparency. Anyone involved in creating content, including researchers, writers, designers, or consultants, can choose to use them,' the Dubai Future Foundation said. Ranging from 'all human' to 'all machine', the five-point global classification system informs end users about the role of machines in the research, production, and publication of creative, scientific, academic, and intellectual content. Machines include digital technologies such as algorithms, automation tools, generative AI, and robots. The icons representing the classifications can be used on academic papers, technical and annual reports, videos, artwork, educational materials, and other multimedia content. 'They can also be used on social media, in videos, images, or any other content that involves, or could involve, AI or machine assistance,' the Dubai Future Foundation said. The icons can be placed on the cover, in footnotes, or in the disclaimer section of the content. Copyrighted by the Dubai Future Foundation, the icons are free to use and do not require permission. Announcing the system, Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai, Deputy Prime Minister, and Minister of Defence of the UAE, said: 'Distinguishing between human creativity and artificial intelligence has become a real challenge in light of today's rapid technological advances. This calls for a new approach to recognise the growing role of intelligent machines. That's why we launched the world's first Human-Machine Collaboration Icons, a classification system that brings transparency to how research documents, publications, and content are created.' Classifications explained All Human: Content is fully produced by a human, with no machine involvement. Human-led: Human-produced content is enhanced or checked by a machine for accuracy, correction, or improvement. Machine-assisted: Humans and machines work together iteratively to produce content. Machine-led: A machine takes the lead in producing the content, with humans verifying quality and accuracy. All machine: Content is entirely generated by a machine, with no human input.

Hamdan bin Mohammed approves launch of pioneering human-machine collaboration classification system
His Highness Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Defence of the UAE, and Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Dubai Future Foundation, today approved the launch of a global classification system that enables in differentiating between the role of humans and machines in the research, production, and publication of creative, scientific, academic, and intellectual content. His Highness said: 'Distinguishing between human creativity and artificial intelligence has become a real challenge in light of today's rapid technological advances. This calls for a new approach to recognise the growing role of intelligent machines. That's why we launched the world's first Human–Machine Collaboration Icons, a classification system that brings transparency to how research documents, publications, and content are created. 'We invite researchers, writers, publishers, designers, and content creators around the world to adopt this new global classification system and use it responsibly and in ways that benefit people,' His Highness added. His Highness Sheikh Hamdan directed all Dubai Government entities to start adopting the system in their research and knowledge-based endeavours. The Human–Machine Collaboration (HMC) classification system, developed by the Dubai Future Foundation, is designed to enhance transparency in research and content production. It offers a visual representation that enables readers, researchers, and decision-makers to understand how much of a given output was shaped by intelligent machines, across fields such as research, design, and publishing. Such fields are increasingly becoming reliant on machines and automation technologies. The classification defines 'intelligent machines' as a broad category encompassing various digital technologies, including algorithms, automation tools, generative AI models, and robotics, or any technological system that plays a role in the research or content creation process. Five primary classifications The HMC system introduces five primary icons that indicate the extent of collaboration between humans and intelligent machines: All Human: Content is fully produced by a human with no machine involvement. Human led: Human-produced content enhanced or checked by machine for accuracy, correction, or improvement. Machine assisted: Humans and machines worked together iteratively to produce content. Machine led: Machine took the lead in producing the content, with humans verifying quality and accuracy. All Machine: Content was entirely generated by machine with no human input. Sub-classifications by function In addition to the five primary icons, the system also includes nine functional icons that indicate where in the process human–machine collaboration occurred. These cover ideation, literature review, data collection, data analysis, data interpretation, writing, translation, visuals, and design. The icon system is designed to be flexible and adaptable across sectors, industries, and content formats, including image and video outputs. While it does not assign percentages or exact weights to the contribution of machine, it enables creators to disclose involvement transparently, acknowledging that evaluation often relies on personal judgement.

Dubai launches new classification system for AI-generated content
Image: Getty Images/ For illustrative purposes Dubai has unveiled a global classification system aimed at distinguishing the role of humans and intelligent machines in the creation of research, academic, creative and scientific content, in a move that sets a precedent amid the growing use of AI and automation in content production. The Human–Machine Collaboration (HMC) classification system, developed by the Dubai Future Foundation, was approved by Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Defence of the UAE, and Chairman of the Foundation's Board of Trustees. 'Distinguishing between human creativity and artificial intelligence has become a real challenge in light of today's rapid technological advances,' Sheikh Hamdan said. 'That's why we launched the world's first Human–Machine Collaboration Icons, a classification system that brings transparency to how research documents, publications, and content are created.' He called on researchers, writers, designers, and publishers globally to adopt the system 'responsibly and in ways that benefit people.' Sheikh Hamdan also directed all Dubai Government entities to start using the system in their research and knowledge-based work. Human–Machine Collaboration classification for AI-generated content The classification introduces five main icons reflecting varying levels of collaboration: All Human: No machine involvement. Human led: Human-created content enhanced or checked by machines. Machine assisted: Collaborative iteration between human and machine. Machine led: Machine-generated content reviewed by humans. All Machine: Fully machine-generated with no human input. It also includes nine function-based icons to indicate where machine interaction occurred — from ideation and data analysis to visuals and design. While it does not quantify the percentage of machine involvement, the system aims to promote disclosure and encourage content creators to self-identify the nature of collaboration involved. According to the Dubai Future Foundation, the Read:

Sheikh Hamdan announces new icon designs aimed at AI transparency
, Crown Prince of Dubai, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Defence, on Wednesday introduced a new classification system to indicate when artificial intelligence has been used in research and publications. The 'icons' were developed and designed by the Dubai Future Foundation, which was founded in 2016 to accelerate the adoption of new technology throughout the UAE. "Today we launched the world's first Human-Machine Collaboration Icons, a classification system that brings transparency to how research, publications and content are created," Sheikh Hamdan said on X. "The icons reflect Dubai's commitment to open, responsible, and future-ready innovation, and serve as a new global benchmark in the age of AI." The Crown Prince invited researchers and institutions to adopt the icons around the world. The classification system consists of five primary icons that indicate whether content is produced, either mainly or fully, by humans, mainly produced by humans but enhanced by AI for accuracy, produced by both humans and AI, made mainly by AI but with the help of humans, or generated completely by AI. The system also includes nine sub-classification icons specific to writing, translation, design and data, among others. According to the DFF, every report it produces in the future will make use of the new icons as part of a "commitment to transparency and establishing a new standard for ethical research practices". The introduction of icons comes at a time in which AI technology is being developed at a breakneck pace, helping humans expedite tasks, particularly in the space of content creation. That technology, however, has also presented ethical and philosophical questions about the whether it should be disclosed that AI was used in the process, and to what extent. In a white paper accompanying the announcement of new icons from DFF, the organisation sought to specify how it hopes they will be used. "By 'research and publications', we mean all intellectual and creative work carried out during the research process, content creation, publication design and related outputs," read the white paper. "This includes but is not limited to academic papers, research articles and reports, data visualisations, books, articles, visual content, art, educational materials and technical documentation." DFF invited "the global community" to provide feedback as to how to improve the icons, designs and classifications. The new icons are the latest in a string developments in the region related to AI. In recent years, the UAE − the Arab world's second-biggest economy − has pursued becoming an AI front-runner, as it seeks to diversify its economy from oil. The country's efforts have resulted in the establishment of start-ups, partnerships and investments from industry leaders. During US President Donald Trump's visit to the UAE in May, both countries agreed to increase collaboration on AI and unveiled plans for a new 5-gigawatt UAE-US AI campus in Abu Dhabi.
