Dubai Debuts Icons to Show If Content Is Made by AI or Human
In a world where AI is writing poems, articles, and even code, Dubai just dropped a new system to help you spot whether a piece of content was made by a human, AI, or a mix of both. It's called the Human–Machine Collaboration (HMC) classification system—and yes, it's official. Why This Matters Let's face it, it's getting harder to tell if a story, report, or photo was done by a person or whipped up by a machine. This system makes it super clear. Whether it's for research papers, artworks, articles, or even designs, you'll now see little icons that break it all down. The Icons to Look Out For There are five main icons: All Human Human-led Machine-assisted Machine-led All Machine So whether it's just a little AI help or a full-on robot takeover, the icon will show you what went down behind the scenes. They're also adding nine mini-icons to tell you which parts the machine helped with—like idea generation, writing, visuals, data crunching, and more. Where It's Rolling Out First All Dubai government departments are now using these icons in their content. But it's not just for Dubai—they want creators around the world to hop on board too. You can even grab the icons yourself from

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:

Dubai launches world's first human–machine collaboration classification for content transparency
Dubai has launched a series of icons to establish whether content is created by humans, AI or a combination of both. 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, approved the launch of the world's first Human–Machine Collaboration (HMC) classification system. The HMC system introduces a global framework designed to differentiate between the roles of humans and intelligent machines in the creation of creative, scientific, academic, and intellectual content. Dubai launches AI content classification The system applies to areas such as research, publishing, writing, design, and more. Sheikh Hamdan 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'. He invited global stakeholders—researchers, writers, publishers, designers, and content creators—to adopt the new classification system and use it responsibly. All Dubai Government entities have also been directed to begin using the framework in their research and knowledge-based outputs. Developed by the Dubai Future Foundation, the HMC system provides visual icons to represent the degree of collaboration between human and machine in content creation. It enhances transparency and helps readers, researchers, and decision-makers better understand the nature of authorship. Hamdan bin Mohammed approves 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. Developed by the Dubai… — Dubai Media Office (@DXBMediaOffice) July 16, 2025 There are five primary classifications: All human: Created entirely by a human with no machine involvement Human led: Human-produced content enhanced by machine (e.g., for accuracy or editing) Machine assisted: Collaborative process where human and machine worked together Machine led: Machine generated most of the content, with humans reviewing it All Machine: Fully machine-generated with no human input Furthermore, there are nine functional sub-classifications. Icons are also available to specify the stage of collaboration, including: Ideation Literature review Data collection Data Analysis Data Interpretation Writing Translation Visuals Design The icon-based system is flexible and can be applied across sectors and formats, including images and videos. While it does not assign specific percentages to the machine's role, it enables transparent disclosure of involvement—supporting greater clarity in an era of increasing reliance on AI, automation tools, and generative technologies. Dubai's initiative is a global first and aims to establish a standard for responsible disclosure and ethical use of intelligent machines in content creation and knowledge production.
