CAHD™ is actively developing initiatives to bring transparency and trust into creative work. From designing the CAHD™ rating system and watermark standards, to building awareness campaigns and educational resources, each project is focused on keeping human creativity at the center while embracing the benefits of technology. Our work spans outreach, tools, and advocacy — all aimed at shaping a future where people and machines create in synergy, openly and authentically. Whether in architecture, visual arts, design, or music, our mission remains the same: to preserve human expression while responsibly integrating new tools.
CAHD™ Rating System
We are building a universal framework to clearly indicate the balance of human and AI contributions in creative work. This system empowers audiences, clients, and creators to understand the process behind each piece and fosters greater accountability across industries. While we cannot enforce how others use it, the CAHD™ Rating System is meant as a framework for standards — a clear point of reference that sparks dialogue, raises awareness, and encourages adoption.
Watermark & Standards Initiative
Our watermarking and metadata standards make it easy to identify how work was created, protecting artists, designers, and musicians while encouraging ethical use of AI-assisted methods. These guidelines ensure clarity without compromising creativity. Like our rating system, they are designed to set a standard others can follow — even if full adoption varies, they provide a shared starting point for meaningful conversations.
Awareness & Advocacy
Through campaigns, events, and publications, we promote the value of human creativity in the age of intelligent tools. We raise awareness about the risks of unchecked automation while spotlighting opportunities where people, including musicians and sound designers, can thrive in collaboration with technology. The goal is not only policy change, but also cultural change: fostering discussions that keep human voices central.
Educational Resources
We produce guides, glossaries, tutorials, and case studies that help creators adopt responsible practices. From CAD workflows and prompt engineering to digital composition and music production, our resources are designed to empower professionals and students alike to work with technology transparently and confidently.
Collaboration & Outreach
We actively seek partnerships with educators, industry leaders, and fellow organizations to co-create solutions. By sharing knowledge across fields — from architecture and art to music and media — we are shaping standards and best practices that keep people at the heart of design and development.
