Using AI to create convincing fake videos of real individuals without their consent is unethical and increasingly illegal. This includes face-swapping, voice cloning, and synthetic media.
Transparency matters. Misrepresenting AI-generated content as entirely human-created damages trust and may violate emerging disclosure requirements.
AI-generated content exists in a legal gray area. Don't assume everything AI creates is free to use commercially. Understand the terms of each tool.
AI should augment human creativity, not eliminate it. Productions that fire their teams to 'let AI do it' will discover that quality, nuance, and reliability suffer.
AI models carry biases from their training data. Using AI-generated casting suggestions, imagery, or narratives without checking for bias can perpetuate harmful stereotypes.
AI output needs human review. Artifacts, inconsistencies, and errors are common. Publishing unreviewed AI content risks your professional reputation.
Be careful with personal data when using AI tools. Uploading client footage to cloud AI services may violate NDAs, contracts, or privacy regulations.
New AI tools launch weekly. Constantly switching tools disrupts your workflow and rarely improves output. Find tools that work and master them.
AI can create technically perfect content that lacks soul. The emotional resonance that makes great video comes from human experience and intention.
AI tools can go offline, change pricing, or alter terms. Don't build critical workflows around a single AI dependency without alternatives.
