Proposal: AI Content Disclosure Header
This document proposes a machine-readable Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) response header field, AI-Disclosure , to disclose the presence and degree of Artificial Intelligence (AI) generated or AI-assisted content in web responses. The header is designed for compatibility with HTTP structured field syntax and provides metadata for user agents, bots, and archiving systems. It supports layered disclosure strategies alongside human-readable and structured metadata formats.
The goal of AI-Disclosure is to offer a low-overhead, easily parsable signal primarily for automated systems like web crawlers, archiving tools, or user agents that may need a quick indication of AI usage without processing complex manifests. While C2PA offers strong, verifiable, and granular provenance, AI-Disclosure provides a simpler, advisory signal directly in the HTTP interaction for basic AI involvement awareness. The distinction between ai-modified and ai-originated aims to address whether the foundational content was human or AI, reflecting concerns about originality and the nature of the transformation.
