Abstract
A content editor or a plugin thereto automatically generates authorship tokens that identify content authored by a human author or an artificial author. The authorship tokens are applied to the work while the work is being produced. Thus, subsequent review of the work can identify regions produced by a human author and other regions produced by an artificial intelligence.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- while providing a content editor that permits a user to edit content:
- receiving a manual edit to the content via a human interface device, wherein the manual edit includes one or more changes to a region of the content;
- modifying the region of content based on the manual edit;
- determining first authorship of the region based on the manual edit and according to a first standard;
- applying a fragile authorship token in association with the region based on the first authorship, wherein the fragile authorship token indicates that:
- the region has human authorship rather than artificial authorship;
- the region has artificial authorship rather than human authorship notwithstanding the manual edit being received over the human interface;
- or
- the region has mixed human and artificial authorship;
- detecting occurrence of a predetermined event;
- responsive to detecting the occurrence of the predetermined event, determining second authorship of the region associated with the manual edit according to a second standard different from the first standard, wherein the second authorship is the same as or different from the first authorship;
- and
- replacing the fragile authorship token associated with the region with a durable authorship token based on the second authorship.

A computer-implemented method comprising:
- while providing a content editor that permits a user to edit content:
- receiving a manual edit to the content via a human interface device, wherein the manual edit includes one or more changes to a first subregion of the content;
- modifying the first subregion of content based on the manual edit;
- determining first authorship of the first subregion;
- applying a first authorship token based on the first authorship, the first authorship token indicating that:
- the first subregion has human authorship rather than artificial authorship;
- the first subregion has artificial authorship rather than human authorship notwithstanding the manual edit being received over the human interface;
- or
- the first subregion has mixed human and artificial authorship;
- identifying a meta-region of content, the meta-region including:
- the first subregion of the content having first authorship indicated by the first authorship token;
- and
- a second subregion of content having second authorship indicated by a second authorship token;
- determining a significance of the first subregion based on the second subregion or the second subregion based on the first subregion;
- updating authorship of the meta-region based on the significance.
