• To ensure transparency, ethical use, and proper attribution of AI-assisted content.
• To align with industry standards and emerging regulations.

2. AI Tools in Use (Scope)

This statement applies to content creation utilizing AI for:

• Music composition, lyric generation, mastering, and vocal synthesis.
• Visual art creation, editing, and style transfer.
• Text generation, storytelling, and scriptwriting.
• Video generation, animation, and editing.
• Data analysis, trend prediction, and audience engagement optimization.

3. Creator Responsibilities (Strengthened Requirements)

• Disclose AI involvement in any published work using platform metadata.
• Detailing Tool Usage: Disclose the AI tool's name and its specific version number, date of generation, and any known limitations or biases of the model used.
• Prompt Transparency: Provide a representative sample of the prompts used, or a link to the complete prompt history upon request.
• Technical Provenance: Utilize embedded metadata (C2PA standard preferred) and/or technical watermarking. Ensure disclosures are tamper-resistant.
• Factual Accuracy: Creators are fully responsible for fact-checking and verifying all outputs before publishing.

4. Platform Commitments

• Labeling: Label AI-generated content clearly and conspicuously.
• User Interaction: Inform users immediately when interacting with an AI system (e.g., chatbot or automated assistant).
• Detection Transparency: We commit to publishing algorithmic content moderation rules and a summary of the known accuracy rate of our AI detection systems by the end of Q4 2025.
• Data Audits: Publish summaries of datasets used to train internal AI models, including copyright status and diversity metrics (To be updated quarterly, beginning Q1 2026).

5. Ethical Use & Limitations (With Risk Mitigation)

• Prohibited Use: Do not use AI tools to generate harmful, misleading, or defamatory content.
• Unauthorized Likeness: Do not replicate voices, faces, or styles without **documented, verifiable consent** from the individual or copyright holder.
• Synthetic Identity/Deepfakes: Content must not be used to create deceptive synthetic identities or "deepfakes" intended to misrepresent a real person or event, even in non-journalistic contexts.
• Regulated Advice: Content in legal, financial, or medical areas must be clearly labeled as informational only, **not professional advice.**

6. Data & Privacy (Creator Prompts) 🔒

• Data Minimization: Creators must review the privacy policies of third-party AI providers.
• Prompt Retention: Zocialized will retain the required prompt sample/history only for the duration necessary for content verification and dispute resolution (max 90 days after content removal). This data will **not** be used to train Zocialized's internal AI models.

7. Attribution & Credit

• Penalties: Violations may result in content removal, account suspension, or legal action.

9. Technical Integrity and Accessibility

• Visual Media Labeling: Clearly label content (e.g., “Created with Midjourney v6.0”).
• Synthetic Element Specificity: Clearly specify which element(s) are synthetic (e.g., "AI-generated image and soundtrack," vs. "Human-captured video with AI-generated voiceover").
• Accessibility Standard: All conspicuous text disclosures must be formatted to meet **WCAG 2.1 Level AA** standards for readability by screen readers and color contrast.
