https://usagescale.org Version history of the AI Usage Scale. A change to what a level means invalidates declarations already made against it — this feed exists so the tools and registries that adopt the scale know the moment it moves. en Mon, 13 Jul 2026 00:00:00 GMT https://usagescale.org/spec usagescale-1.0.0-draft Mon, 13 Jul 2026 00:00:00 GMT

Initial draft. Not yet stable — the level boundaries are open for challenge.

Six levels, 0–5, decided by five yes/no questions.

Levels named: Human, Assisted, Co-created, Directed, Prompted, Automated.

Optional per-surface declaration (text, image, audio, video, code, data).

Edge cases settled: translation, transcription, decorative assets, derivative works, live generation, non-generative machine learning.

Mappings onto W3C ai-disclosure, IPTC Digital Source Type, and schema.org.

Badge family: 6 levels × chip/stamp × light/dark, type outlined, CC0.

Published in 22 languages, with a switcher. Every translation declares itself as a machine translation on the page, under the scale's own translation rule.

Social cards, schema.org DefinedTermSet (the levels as a controlled vocabulary), reciprocal hreflang, llms.txt and llms-full.txt (the whole standard in one fetch).
