I signed up to the Human Authored scheme today, thanks to seeing this. In a world where it is becoming increasingly difficult to discern AI from human-made content, this logo will help to ensure that we are actively championing HUMAN creativity. #literarytranslator #literarytranslation #humanauthor
Our Human Authored scheme launched a week ago today and we’ve been bowled over by the response. More than 700 authors have registered already and we’re delighted to have a number of high profile authors backing the scheme, including Mary Beard, Malorie Blackman, Sarah Waters and Sarah Hall. 🧵

I hope someone draws this wonderful story about Tom Stoppard's Arcadia and the power of the arts to help us see things differently, to the attention of our Education Secretary. Do read it, it will lift your spirits.
