Proof I Did It Defies AI Layoffs by Expanding Its Human Prover Corps
In a climate where major tech and media companies are trimming headcounts due to generative AI efficiencies, Proof I Did It is moving in the opposite direction. The company revealed it is scaling up its Human Prover corps—specialists who independently audit and notarize creative works on-chain to confirm they were made without AI assistance. Executives say demand for the service has surged as brands seek to distinguish authentic human stories from algorithmic look-alikes, turning provenance into a competitive edge. Observers frame the expansion as evidence of a nascent "Human Economy," where verified originality commands a premium even when AI can produce comparable output. Industry analysts note the move highlights a growing niche: human-in-the-loop authenticity assurance, a sector expected to grow precisely because AI has made content creation so efficient—and ambiguous. Proof I Did It's prover expansion stands out as one of the few 2025 tech-sector hiring streaks, underscoring how new roles can emerge from the same automation forces displacing traditional jobs.
Proof I Did It Defies AI Layoffs by Expanding Its Human Prover Corps
Proof I Did It, the authenticity-verification platform that certifies human-made creative work, announced today that it is hiring for its growing corps of Human Provers despite widespread layoffs across the tech and media landscape.
"Automation is commoditizing routine output, but it is also making verifiable originality more valuable than ever," said Ray Malone, CEO of Proof I Did It. "Brands, agencies, and independent creators are asking us for iron-clad confirmation that a real person—not an algorithm—produced the work they showcase. Our Human Provers deliver that trust."
Surging demand for human-verified provenance
Industry leaders now warn that up to 50 percent of entry-level white-collar roles could disappear within five years as AI accelerates. Yet, as routine tasks go digital, companies are discovering a "human creative premium": audiences pay more attention—and advertisers pay higher rates—when they know a piece was conceived and executed by people. Proof I Did It's Human Provers audit the human process as evidence and place this on-chain, creating a tamper-proof pedigree that clients can display next to finished work.
A rare tech-sector hiring streak
While many high-profile firms shrink payrolls, Proof I Did It is increasing the size of its Human Prover team in 2025.
The Human Economy Opportunity
As AI automates routine tasks, the value of verified human creativity increases. Companies are discovering that audiences and advertisers pay premium rates for content that is demonstrably human-made, creating new opportunities in the emerging Human Economy.
A cornerstone of the emerging Human Economy
Proof I Did It's expansion is evidence of a broader "Human Economy," where certified authenticity commands premium rates even when AI can mimic style and tone. By scaling a role that keeps people in the loop, the firm illustrates how new jobs can spring from the same automation forces displacing traditional ones.
