Human Seal

The open standard for governed AI

Keep a human in charge of AI.

The Human Seal is the signed, verifiable proof that a real, authorized human approved an AI's world-affecting action. It is the mark of an open standard, the Human Gate, and anyone can verify it offline, with no trust in us required.

Gate, Assent, Seal

The Human Gate

The control point where a real human, distinct from the AI, must approve a world-affecting action (a payment, a write, a message, a deletion) before it runs. No autonomous path may bypass it.

The Assent

The act itself: a specific, authorized person deciding to approve or refuse this exact action, having seen its true context.

The Human Seal

The signed, tamper-evident receipt that the assent happened: who approved, the exact action (bound by a content hash), and when. Verifiable by anyone, offline.

Do not trust us. Check.

The Seal's authority does not rest on our word. Every property is independently verifiable. Paste any Human Seal into the verifier and confirm the signature in your own browser, offline, against the receipt's own key.

Why it matters now

AI has begun to act: to send money, change records, and answer for organizations. The question every board is asking is simple, who said yes? Around two dozen jurisdictions and the first binding AI treaty now require a human to be able to oversee and intervene, with a record kept. One Human Seal is that record.

Earn the Seal at three levels

1. Gated

Every world-affecting action is held for a human approval and logged.

2. Signed

Each approval produces a signed receipt, bound to the approver and the exact action, verifiable offline.

3. Assured

A present-human, risk-scaled step-up, with a second-approver check for the highest-risk actions.

Open, and stewarded honestly

The Human Gate standard is free to implement. The Human Seal mark is stewarded by HumanGate International, incubated by FLOCORE and opening to co-founders. We say plainly where the standard is today, and we make trust checkable rather than asking for it.
