Develop and mandate ethical AI certification for generative AI use in film and HETV

Recommendation
The Government’s AI Sector Champion for the creative industries, once appointed, should work with the industry to develop an AI certification scheme for the ethical use of generative AI in film and HETV. In setting out guidelines for the responsible use of generative AI, the scheme should consider the interests of copyright holders, creatives and audiences. To ensure compliance and protect the industry from irresponsible use of AI tools, the Government should mandate certification for UK-based broadcasters or productions claiming tax incentives and National Lottery funding. (Recommendation, Paragraph 187)
