Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Defence of the UAE, and Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Dubai Future Foundation, approved the launch of the world's first Human–Machine Collaboration (HMC) classification system. The HMC system introduces a global framework designed to differentiate between the roles of humans and intelligent machines in the creation of creative, scientific, academic, and intellectual content. Dubai launches AI content classification The system applies to areas such as research, publishing, writing, design, and more. Sheikh Hamdan said: 'Distinguishing between human creativity and artificial intelligence has become a real challenge in light of today's rapid technological advances. 'This calls for a new approach to recognise the growing role of intelligent machines. That's why we launched the world's first Human–Machine Collaboration Icons, a classification system that brings transparency to how research documents, publications, and content are created'. He invited global stakeholders—researchers, writers, publishers, designers, and content creators—to adopt the new classification system and use it responsibly. All Dubai Government entities have also been directed to begin using the framework in their research and knowledge-based outputs.

Icons are also available to specify the stage of collaboration, including: Ideation Literature review Data collection Data Analysis Data Interpretation Writing Translation Visuals Design The icon-based system is flexible and can be applied across sectors and formats, including images and videos.
