Review the five core classifications

Before classifying, familiarise yourself with the five core classifications — AI-Free, Human-Led, Co-Created, AI-Led, and AI-Generated. Each has a clear definition based on the level of AI involvement in creating the artefact.

Use the Navigator to classify your work

Log in to the AIUC Navigator and use the guided assessment tool. Answer the questions about how AI was used in creating your artefact — the tool will identify the correct classification based on your answers.

Consider variation modifiers

If your artefact is being released in an editable format (Word, PowerPoint), add the Uncontrolled modifier. If a specific section has a different classification from the whole document, use the Caveat* modifier for that section only.

5

Download and apply your badge

Once classified, download the badge in the format you need — PNG for documents and presentations, SVG for web use. Place the badge in a visible location on the artefact. Do not alter the badge in any way.

6

Publish with confidence

Your artefact is now classified and ready to share. Professional Licensees can save the classification record in the Navigator's Content Register, providing a verifiable audit trail.

Need help choosing the right classification?

If you are unsure which classification applies, review the definitions and examples on the Standard page, or read the FAQ. When in doubt, err on the side of declaring greater AI involvement.
