CAHDD™ (Computer Aided Human Designed & Developed) develops initiatives that bring transparency and trust into creative and technical work. From designing the CAHD™ rating system and watermark standards to running awareness campaigns and creating educational resources, every project focuses on keeping human creativity at the center while embracing the benefits of technology. Our role is not to police or enforce—what we provide are tools and frameworks that creators can adopt voluntarily to strengthen their own copyright, authorship, and intellectual property. Whether in architecture, visual arts, design, music, or engineering, our mission is the same: preserve human expression while responsibly integrating new tools.
CAHD™ Rating System
We are building a universal, documented framework to indicate the balance of human and AI contributions in creative work. This system helps audiences, clients, and creators understand the process behind each piece and supports stronger self-backed copyright and authorship claims. While adoption is voluntary, the CAHD™ Rating System serves as a clear reference point—sparking dialogue, raising awareness, and encouraging a culture of transparency.
Watermark & Standards Initiative
Our watermarking and metadata guidelines make it easier to identify how work was created. They protect artists, designers, musicians, and engineers by offering a visible, standardized way to declare process and authorship. These tools do not restrict creativity; instead, they give creators a consistent method of self-protection and a starting point for industry-wide best practices.
Awareness & Advocacy
Through campaigns, events, and publications, we promote the value of human creativity in an age of intelligent tools. Our focus is not regulation, but conversation—spotlighting both the risks of unchecked automation and the opportunities for human–tech collaboration. The goal is cultural change: fostering discussions that keep human voices, decisions, and authorship at the center.
Educational Resources
We produce guides, glossaries, tutorials, and case studies that help creators apply CAHD™ principles in their daily practice. From CAD workflows and prompt writing to digital composition and music production, our resources empower professionals and students to adopt transparent, responsible methods without giving up speed, efficiency, or innovation.
Collaboration & Outreach
We actively seek partnerships with educators, industry leaders, and allied organizations to co-create solutions. By sharing knowledge across fields—from architecture and art to music and media—we shape best practices that elevate human creativity while keeping technology in its proper role: a powerful but supportive tool.
