Trust and privacy FAQs

AI-generated content can be legal, but legality depends on jurisdiction, the tool’s terms, and how the content is used. The main risks involve using restricted source material, violating platform policies, or making misleading claims. For business use, review licensing terms, keep records of inputs, and avoid generating content that imitates protected works or real individuals without permission.

Copyright outcomes vary by country. In many places, copyright protection may depend on the level of human creative contribution and how the work was produced. Even when AI output is usable, it can still resemble existing works. Treat AI output as a draft: edit meaningfully, avoid copying recognizable styles or characters, and consult counsel for high-stakes commercial use.

As with text, copyright treatment for AI-generated images varies by jurisdiction and by the human contribution involved. Separate from copyright, images can still create trademark, publicity, or licensing issues if they include brand assets or resemble real people. For commercial use, avoid logos and recognizable characters, keep prompt records, and use manual review to catch risky similarities.

AI images can be used commercially if the generator’s terms allow it and the output does not violate rights of others. Commercial risk often comes from embedded trademarks, lookalike designs, or use of a real person’s likeness. Before publishing, confirm licensing terms, remove or avoid brand elements you do not own, and review outputs carefully for hidden logos or unintended text.
