Guy Clark Estate Joins The Humanable Movement

/by

Guy Clark‘s Estate has joined the Humanable artist roster, certifying his discographies as fully-human and free from the use of generative artificial intelligence in the creation of the music, and helping push the movement of protecting human creation in the arts.

Truly Handmade Records, a division of Guy Clark LLC, has joined the movement and Humanable to certify his and wife Susanna’s discographies as fully-human. Truly Handmade Records was formed by Clark’s grandchildren to honor his legacy and support songwriters who follow in his footsteps. Guy and Susanna’s discographies, including Guy’s 2013 Grammy-winning album My Favorite Picture of You, will be joining the list of fully human music certified via Humanable.

“Witnessing the current landscape where artificial intelligence is transforming art and media, it was important to us to certify that all of Guy and Susanna Clark’s compositions were written by the artists with zero assistance from machines,” says Tamara Saviano, President and Creative Director of Guy Clark LLC. “We hope the quality of their work will inspire future generations of writers and artists to trust their own creativity.”

Humanable Co-Founder and CEO Tim Wipperman adds, “Guy Clark is recognized as a Poet Laureate of our industry and has been an inspiration to countless songwriters over the years. Guy would love the fact that we’re trying to protect the art of human creators, and we are honored to have Guy and Susanna’s music join our roster of artists.”

Humanable’s industry-wide standard certification provides a unique, individual identifier that helps prevent GenAI outputs from eroding the royalties of composers, musicians, and artists. Once art is certified, downstream gatekeepers and fans will have an instant visual guarantee that it was not created by GenAI, thanks to the easily recognizable Humanable certification marks.
