Humans Commons is a collective of individuals committed to shaping a future that benefits all of Humanity. In an age where artificial intelligence (AI) technology is advancing so fast, we believe it is crucial to create a clear, Human-centered framework for how intellectual property (IP) is used, shared, and developed. Our goal is to ensure that every decision made around the use of Human-created content is transparent, fair, and respectful of Human rights, while also considering the role of emerging technologies like AI.

At the heart of Humans Commons is a set of licenses that help define how IP can be interacted with by both Humans and non-Human entities, such as AI systems and automated tools. Our licenses are designed to ensure that Human creators maintain control over their work while allowing for innovation, collaboration, and the responsible use of technology. We provide a variety of licensing options to accommodate different needs and preferences:

• AI0 licenses: These licenses are designed for Human creators who want to restrict AI use in their work. With clear attribution requirements, the AI0 licenses ensure that AI cannot be used without explicit permission. This option is particularly valuable for those who wish to preserve the Human-centric nature of their creations and maintain control over how their work is used in automated systems.
• AI100 licenses: In contrast, the AI100 license explicitly allows for the use of artificial intelligence in relation to the content.

These licenses represent the first step in a new direction — a direction where Humans are at the center of the conversation, ensuring that technology serves us, not the other way around. We understand that the landscape of intellectual property and technology is constantly evolving, and that no single approach can be one-size-fits-all. That’s why we are committed to an ongoing, open process of feedback and collaboration.

This is the very first version of our licenses, and we invite anyone who shares our vision to join us in this journey. Whether you're a lawyer, creator, technologist, or simply someone who believes in the importance of responsible technology use, we welcome your Human input. By working together, we can continuously refine and improve our licenses to better serve Humanity, both now and in the future.

The future of Human creativity is in our hands. Let’s make sure we shape it in a way that prioritizes Humans — today and always.
