The UK position
- 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, proposed work on transparency and labelling, and will explore a new digital replica or personality right.
- Our 'What the industry says' page keeps the dated record, including the BFI, Equity, Bectu and the Writers' Guild.
What the unions ask
- Consent, fair pay and transparency for performers, crew and writers whose work or likeness is used.
- Read your contract for AI clauses before you sign, and ask your union if unsure.
Disclosure
- Log what was AI, who checked it, and how it will be labelled. Content Credentials can carry that in the file.
- The optional practice task puts all of this into practice on one clip. Then book your competency check.
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
Draft your AI log · 20 minutes
Draft the AI log you'll use in the practice task: the columns, and one example row.
How it's marked
- Columns: shot or clip, task, tool and version, what the AI did, who checked, result, label
- Example row is complete and specific
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)
Columns: clip | task | tool and version | what AI did | checked by | result | label. Example: A003_C012 | dialogue clean-up | [edit software, version] | separated voice from wind | J. Patel, dialogue editor | approved after manual fix on line 3 | 'AI-assisted dialogue clean-up'.

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.
