Trosen author page Recommended asset: Square social card ```text I oppose broad mandatory watermarking, labeling, embedded identifiers, or provenance credentials for lawful creative work merely because AI tools were used. AI assistance does not erase the author, editor, publisher, teacher, or creator who shaped the work, verified it, revised it, and took responsibility for the result. A permanent provider-controlled mark can follow lawful work into places where it may be judged by the tool used rather than by its substance. Please read the petition first. If you agree, sign it. There is also a separate independent opinion poll. The poll is self-selected and nonrepresentative; taking it does not sign the petition, and signing does not answer the poll. Read and sign the petition: https://veristiopress.com/petition/protect-creative-freedom/ Take the separate poll: https://veristiopress.com/petition/protect-creative-freedom/#poll View public results: https://veristiopress.com/petition/protect-creative-freedom/#results - Michael A. Trosen ``` ### Veristio Press page Recommended asset: Landscape link card ```text Veristio Press has launched the Protect Creative Freedom campaign opposing broad mandatory watermarking, labeling, embedded identifiers, or provenance credentials for lawful creative work merely because AI tools were used.

Oppose broad mandatory marking of lawful AI-assisted creative work. Read the petition before signing. The independent poll is separate and self-selected. https://veristiopress.com/petition/protect-creative-freedom/ ``` ### Medium post Recommended asset: Portrait feed card ```text Should lawful creative work be permanently marked merely because AI tools helped somewhere in the process? Veristio Press says no to broad mandatory watermarking, labeling, embedded identifiers, and provenance credentials for lawful creative work when creators have not chosen that marking for themselves. Read the petition first, then sign if you agree. The separate independent poll is self-selected and nonrepresentative; it does not sign the petition for you. Petition: https://veristiopress.com/petition/protect-creative-freedom/ Poll: https://veristiopress.com/petition/protect-creative-freedom/#poll ``` ### Professional post Recommended asset: Landscape link card ```text Veristio Press has opened a public petition opposing broad mandatory watermarking, labeling, embedded identifiers, and provenance credentials for lawful creative work merely because AI tools were used. The issue matters to authors, publishers, educators, creators, and ordinary AI users. Disclosure can be appropriate in deceptive or high-risk contexts, but default provider-controlled marking of lawful work can shift power away from the people who write, edit, verify, teach, publish, and take responsibility for the finished work.
