Protection of data and creative rights
Above all, the company emphasizes the protection of personal data, the protection of creative rights and respect for actors: inside, author: inside and union members: inside. According to the rules, AI must not work without consent or appear from union members: replace inside. “We see these tools as valuable creative aids when they are used transparently and responsibly,” says a statement of the streaming platform.
Concrete rules for AI use on Netflix
The guidelines demand that AI tools do not train on copyrighted material. You may not save production data unsecured. Contents that arise with AI should only be used temporarily if they are not part of the end product. Netflix also prohibits generated content without consent to imitate the appearance or voice of real people.
Criticism of previous Netflix productions with AI
With the new rules, Netflix reacts to previous criticism. In the Netflix documentary “What Jennifer DID” from 2024, AI pictures were apparently used without the audience being found out. The company also used KI in visual effects in the “The Eternaut” series, which also triggered criticism. Co-CEO Ted Sarandos said that the method was much faster than classic methods.
Netflix also checks to incorporate AI generated advertising in cheap subscription models. With the rules, the group wants to promote innovation, but also comply with legal standards and ensure the trust of the audience.
