The rule
- Never upload rushes, scripts, stills, cast information, call sheets or contact lists to a public AI tool without the production's say-so.
- Unreleased material is confidential. Many productions have contracts that say so, and some tools may train on what you upload.
Four questions before any upload
- Is there a data processing agreement?
- Where is the data held?
- How long is it kept?
- Does the provider train on it?
- If you don't know the answers, don't upload. Ask your head of department.
Personal data
- Call sheets and contact lists hold people's personal data. UK data protection law applies to them.
- On-device tools that keep material on the production's own machines are often the safer choice.

Do
Upload or not? · 10 minutes
For each request, say 'upload', 'don't upload' or 'ask first', and why.
1. Today's call sheet into a free chatbot to make a to-do list. 2. Rushes into the transcription tool inside the production's approved edit software. 3. A publicity still, already released, into a public image tool to make a poster draft. 4. The cast contact list into an app to 'organise it'.
How it's marked
- 1: don't upload (personal data)
- 2: upload (approved tool, approved system)
- 3: ask first (released, but rights and the tool's terms)
- 4: don't upload (personal data)
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)
1 Don't: personal data. 2 Yes: approved tool on the production's system. 3 Ask first: it's released, but check rights and whether the tool trains on uploads. 4 Don't: personal data.
