[ AI ][ VERIFICATION ][ NOUN ]

The general process of confirming a real person is behind an account or action, distinct from proof-of-human by being the everyday practical process rather than the forecasted formal cryptographic standard.

REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE

"Human verification flagged the account correctly, turned out to be a bot network the whole time."

LORE & ORIGIN

Extends 'proof-of-human' into a more general, already-practiced term for the broader category of confirming human presence online.
