Control over digital identity is no longer optional — it is essential.
Today, PRVEN introduces AI Usage Declaration, a new feature that allows users to define how their identity and likeness can be used by artificial intelligence systems.
As AI-generated content, deepfakes, and synthetic media continue to rise, this update gives creators and individuals a clear way to communicate boundaries — directly alongside their verified identity.
What Is the PRVEN AI Usage Declaration?
The AI Usage Declaration is a new setting within PRVEN that allows users to publicly state how AI can use their identity, likeness, or content.
Users can choose from three simple options:
- No AI use permitted
- Limited use (licence required)
- Open to AI usage and licensing enquiries
An optional contact email can also be added for licensing or permission requests.
This declaration is displayed alongside the user’s verification record, making it visible to anyone viewing their public verification page.
Why This Update Matters
AI systems are increasingly capable of generating realistic images, videos, and identities.
However, most systems today operate without clear signals from individuals about what is allowed.
This creates a gap between:
- What creators intend
- What AI systems actually do
The AI Usage Declaration introduces a simple but important change:
It allows individuals to clearly state their position.
This is not enforcement — it is visibility and intent.
And in a rapidly evolving AI landscape, that clarity matters.
Built on Verified Identity
The AI Usage Declaration is tied directly to a verified human record.
This ensures that:
- Declarations are made by real individuals
- Impersonation or false claims are reduced
- Signals are more credible and trustworthy
Without identity verification, any declaration system can be easily abused.
By linking declarations to verified humans, PRVEN creates a stronger foundation for trust.
How It Works
The feature is designed to be simple and immediate.
After completing verification, users can:
- Select their AI usage preference
- Optionally add a contact email
- Publish their declaration with their verification record
Once set, the declaration appears on the user’s public verification page.
This means anyone viewing the page can clearly see:
- Whether AI use is permitted
- Under what conditions
- How to contact the individual (if enabled)
What This Does — And What It Does Not Do
It is important to be clear about the scope of this feature.
The AI Usage Declaration:
- Provides a public statement of intent
- Creates transparency around AI usage preferences
- Helps establish boundaries for identity and content use
It does not:
- Enforce legal rights automatically
- Monitor AI systems
- Detect or prevent misuse
This is a declaration layer, not an enforcement system.
Its purpose is to make expectations visible and reduce ambiguity.
Why This Is Important for Creators
For creators, identity is increasingly at risk.
AI can now:
- Replicate faces and voices
- Generate synthetic content
- Create misleading representations
Without clear boundaries, misuse becomes easier.
The AI Usage Declaration gives creators:
- A clear public stance on AI use
- Greater control over how their identity is perceived
- A simple way to communicate licensing intent
This helps shift creators from reactive protection to proactive control.
A New Layer of Digital Identity
PRVEN is not just about verification — it is about what comes after verification.
With this update, your verification record now includes:
- Proof that you are a real human
- A timestamped verification event
- A declared position on AI usage
Together, these form a more complete digital identity signal.
Why This Matters in the AI Era
As AI continues to evolve, identity alone is no longer enough.
The next layer of trust includes:
- Proof of real human presence
- Control over how identity is used
- Transparency around permissions
The AI Usage Declaration is an early step in that direction.
It introduces a simple but powerful idea:
People should be able to define how AI interacts with their identity.
What This Means Going Forward
This update lays the groundwork for future identity-based permission systems.
As adoption grows, we may see:
- Platforms referencing declared AI usage preferences
- Standardisation of identity-linked permissions
- Greater accountability in AI systems
PRVEN is introducing this concept early — before it becomes expected.
