Where Do We Stand on AI-Generated Video for Commercial Purposes?
Navigating AI-Generated Video in Commercial Settings
At Prompted Intelligence, we know AI can generate strikingly realistic images and videos, but we're careful to keep things above board. The technology has advanced rapidly, and with it comes important questions about legal and ethical use in commercial contexts.
Understanding the Legal Boundaries
As long as the AI pulls from its training data without mimicking a specific person—like, say, the Prime Minister or a famous celebrity—you're generally in the clear under current UK laws. This distinction is crucial for businesses looking to leverage AI-generated content while staying compliant.
What You Can and Can't Do
You can prompt for broad demographics, like:
- A man or woman in their twenties or thirties
- A workman with brown hair
- General character types without specific identities
However, if you ask for a likeness of a specific music artist or public figure, that's where you risk legal trouble, like defamation or privacy claims. The line between inspiration and imitation is one we take seriously.
Our Commitment to Compliance
We store all source prompts for our videos and strictly refuse to mimic anyone, protecting you and us. This transparency ensures that if questions arise about the origin of content, we have a clear audit trail.
Looking Ahead
There's no clear legal precedent yet, but as laws evolve, we'll stay vigilant to keep our clients safe. The regulatory landscape around AI-generated content is still developing, and we're committed to staying ahead of these changes.
Better safe than sorry, right? By working with Prompted Intelligence, you're choosing a partner who prioritizes both innovation and compliance, ensuring your AI-generated video content serves your business goals without legal complications.
