AI or human? Dubai launches world-first labelling system that tells you the difference

Feeling confused about whether what you've just read was AI or a human? You're not alone. And that's why the latest announcement by the Dubai leadership should come as welcome news for anyone who has been duped by AI content. Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai and Deputy Prime Minister of the UAE, has announced the world's first Human-Machine Collaboration Icons. Essentially, these icons have been designed to clearly identify whether content has been made entirely by humans or by artificial intelligence. Dubai government entities have been directed to start adopting the system in research and knowledge-based endeavours. And Sheikh Hamdan has called on researchers, publications, creators and institutions to adopt the new labelling system. Today, we launch the world's first Human–Machine Collaboration Icons: a classification system that brings transparency to how research, publications, and content are created. Developed by @DubaiFuture, the icons reflect Dubai's commitment to open, responsible, and future-ready… — Hamdan bin Mohammed (@HamdanMohammed) July 16, 2025 He 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.' The icons, developed by the Dubai Future Foundation, act as clear indicators of whether content has been entirely made by a human, made with the assistance of AI or entirely by AI. Creators, publications and researchers who wish to use the icon system can download the icons via the Dubai Future Foundation. How the Human-Machine Collaboration (HMC) classification system works What does trust look like in the age of #AI? As machine and human intelligence become harder to tell apart, authorship becomes harder to trace. To support transparency, we've launched the 'Human–Machine Collaboration icons' (HMC), a visual system that makes AI involvement in… — Dubai Future Foundation (@DubaiFuture) July 16, 2025 The classification system 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. There are three separate labels for AI-assisted content, with one indicating human-produced content enhanced by AI for accuracy, correction or improvement. In the middle of the five icons is one that's jointly human and machine-led, with no clear leader between the two. Another label will clearly label that content has been led by AI, with humans only stepping in to verify quality and accuracy.

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 doesn't assign any percentages or exact weights to the contribution of either side, it does allow creators and researchers to be transparent about the use of AI in their work.
