Disclosure checklist
Minimum standard
Audiences should understand the personality or media is synthetic before they rely on it as a real human endorsement.
Approval owner
One owner should review platform labels, caption language, claim accuracy, rights, and escalation before publishing.
Brand-safety rule
Never publish synthetic results, before-and-after claims, or implied human experience without strict review.
Resource
Platform labels
Use platform-native synthetic media labels and keep screenshots or records of disclosure decisions.
Caption language
Say when a model, scene, voice, or personality is AI-generated in plain audience-facing language.
Claims review
Review product, health, beauty, finance, or performance claims before any synthetic content goes live.
Rights log
Document who owns the model identity, image assets, prompts, source materials, edits, and reuse rights.
1. Define synthetic status
Document whether the character, voice, image, setting, or endorsement is synthetic.
2. Choose disclosure format
Set platform labels, caption wording, landing-page language, and internal approval notes.
3. Review risky claims
Check before-and-after visuals, product promises, regulated claims, and audience-sensitive categories.
4. Monitor response
Track comments, confusion, backlash, misuse, impersonation, and escalation signals after launch.
Do brands need to disclose AI influencers?
Yes. Brands should use clear disclosure when synthetic characters or AI-generated media could affect audience understanding or trust.
Where should AI influencer disclosure appear?
Use platform labels when available, add clear caption language, and explain synthetic status on campaign or landing pages when needed.
Who should approve AI influencer content?
Marketing, brand, legal/compliance, and product owners may all need review depending on category risk and claims.
What is the biggest disclosure mistake?
Making the synthetic personality appear like a real human customer, expert, or creator without clear audience-facing disclosure.
