GenAI Guidelines | Archival Producers

What filmmakers are saying:

“As documentary filmmakers who depend on the integrity of historical archives, and as mentors to younger filmmakers grappling with the threat–and the potential–that generative AI presents to their work, we are grateful for these guidelines. We are especially heartened by the attention given to algorithmic bias, which threatens to re-write the past and foreclose on possible futures when it comes to the representation of people of color.” – Stanley Nelson and Marcia Smith, Co-Founders of Firelight Media and Firelight Films
