Certified Artist™ Preserving Human Creativity in the Arts
Certified Artist is a global certification system that verifies and protects human-created art, music, and creative work across digital platforms.
The Problem
AI is Blurring Authorship
Advanced AI tools can now replicate styles and generate content, making it difficult to identify original human work.
Artists Losing Value in industry.
Human creativity is increasingly being undervalued as AI-generated content rapidly floods the creative industry, making it harder for audiences.
Lack of Transparency
Audiences cannot easily tell whether content is created by a human or generated by artificial intelligence.

A New Standard for Human Creativity
Our Mission
Certified Artist Mission Statement
Certified Artist exists to protect and honor these qualities by affirming the value of human-created art, performance, and creative work. We believe that human creativity should not be diluted, misrepresented, or obscured by automated processes, and that audiences deserve to know when they are engaging with work created by a human hand and mind.
Neil J Mulligan
Founder / CEO
At Certified Artist, we believe there must be a clear and unmistakable distinction between content generated by artificial intelligence and content created through human imagination, skill, and lived experience. In an era where technology can rapidly replicate styles and outputs, transparency is essential to preserving trust, authorship, and artistic integrity.
Art is, at its core, a uniquely human expression. It reflects emotion, intention, imperfection, and meaning, qualities rooted in human consciousness and creativity.
