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 www.dubaifuture.ae/hmc.
As Sheikh Hamdan put it, the goal is simple: transparency in tech use, especially in a time where it’s getting harder to spot the difference.
