Films are made and owned by the channels named, and play from YouTube. Inclusion here is not an endorsement either way.
The debate
- Many AI models learned from material that others own. Who owned it, whether they agreed and whether they should be paid is the central argument.
- In the UK, the government's Report on Copyright and Artificial Intelligence (18 March 2026) said a broad exception with opt-out is no longer its preferred way forward. Our page 'What the industry says' keeps the record, with the unions' positions.
Credit
- People are credited for their work. If AI helped, the person who made and checked it is still credited.
- Never pass off someone else's work, or a machine's, as your own.
Labelling
- Say where AI was used when it matters to the audience, the credits or the client.
- Content Credentials (C2PA) record how a file was made, in the file itself.
Check
3 questions drawn from 8 · pass mark 80% · safety-critical questions must be right · 3 attempts in 24 hours · new questions each time
Watch the films to open the check.
Do
Write a credit and a label · 10 minutes
You made a short pitch film. AI was used for a transcript, a dialogue clean-up and two storyboard frames. Write the credit line and a one-line label for the description.
How it's marked
- Credits the people who did and checked the work
- Label says where AI was used, plainly
- No overclaiming
Met or Not yet, with a comment from a trained reviewer. Until accounts open, open the model answer after you submit and mark your own work against it.
Model answer (open after you submit)
Credit: 'Edited by Ama Owusu. Sound by Joe Patel. Storyboards by Ama Owusu.' Label: 'AI tools assisted with transcription, dialogue clean-up and two storyboard frames; all checked and signed off by the team.'

Record
This is everything kept about this lesson. In the pilot it's held by Futures in Film CIC in your account; Screen Sisters CIC sees named records only if you agree. Your data
Moving on doesn't complete a lesson. A lesson is complete when the films are watched, the check is passed and the task is marked Met.
