What you’ll be able to do

By the end, you can…

Set data boundariesCategorize client data into tiers—such as public, internal, and highly confidential—to determine which AI tools are eligible for each. You will apply these rules to prevent sensitive data from entering unsafe tools.
Audit tool termsIdentify critical clauses in terms of service regarding data ownership and model training. You will be able to spot red-flag language that allows tool providers to use your client's proprietary data for improvement.
Secure embargoed workDesign specific 'embargo triggers' within your production pipeline to manage unreleased campaigns. This prevents AI agents from prematurely generating or distributing material before the official launch date.
Verify likeness rightsEstablish a system for tracking and verifying permissions for human likenesses in a shared record. You will ensure every synthetic version of a person is backed by an approved, written permission.
Coordinate with legalDetermine the exact points in the production pipeline where legal review is mandatory. You will write a set of escalation triggers that require legal sign-off before an AI asset can move to the next stage.
Harden delivery gatesIntegrate rights reviews into the final 'Factory' delivery gates. You will create a comprehensive release checklist to confirm that every asset complies with confidentiality, embargo, and likeness rules.

How it works

A tutor that meets you where you are

  1. Adaptive lessonsThe course material is not static. It automatically adjusts the complexity and depth of the content to match your current skill level as you move through the modules.

  3. Active recall toolsEach lesson is paired with specific quizzes and digital flashcards. These tools are designed to help you retain the practical rules and triggers taught in the curriculum.
  4. Progress trackingKeep a clear view of your advancement through the six lessons. Once you have completed all requirements and assessments, you will receive a certificate of completion.

Curriculum

The curriculum

This focused program moves from tool auditing to legal integration, giving you a practical framework for AI governance.

  2. 2Auditing AI Tool Terms of Service
    • Identify critical clauses in tool terms of service regarding data ownership and training
    • Spot red-flag language in Terms of Service that allows tool providers to use client data for model improvement

Module 2Managing Embargoes and Likenesses2 lessons

  1. 3Handling Embargoed Material in AI Workflows
    • Create a process for handling embargoed products and unreleased campaigns within AI agents
    • Design an 'embargo trigger' in the production pipeline to prevent premature AI generation or distribution
  2. 4Managing Likeness Permissions
    • Establish a system for tracking and verifying permissions for people's likenesses in the shared record
    • Verify that synthetic versions of a person are backed by an approved, written permission

Module 3Legal Integration and Delivery2 lessons

  1. 5Legal Escalation Triggers
    • Determine the exact points in the production pipeline where legal review is required
    • Write a set of 'triggers' that mandate a legal sign-off before an AI asset moves to the next stage
  2. 6Integrating Rights Review into Delivery Gates
    • Integrate rights review into the final 'Factory' delivery gates

Who it’s for

Made for you if…

Made for: Creative directors, art directors, design leads and brand leaders

Creative Directors

You want your team to leverage AI agents to speed up production, but you are worried that unreleased campaigns or embargoed products could end up in a public model. You need practical rules to prevent leaks without killing the creative momentum.

Brand Leaders

You are overseeing the transition to synthetic content and need a rigorous system for likeness permissions. You must ensure that every AI-generated person is backed by a written agreement and tracked in a shared record to avoid legal disputes.

Design Leads

You manage the daily handoffs between creative teams and tools. You need to know exactly which tool terms are safe for client data and where to place the 'triggers' that mandate a legal review before an asset moves to the next stage.

Production Heads

You are responsible for the final delivery gates and the release stamp. This course helps you build a compliance checklist that verifies confidentiality and embargo rules are met before any AI-enhanced asset is shipped to the client.

Questions

Good to know

Will this course teach me how to write better prompts for AI agents?

No. This course is focused on governance and risk management rather than creative execution. It teaches you how to set practical working rules for confidentiality, embargoes, and likeness permissions.

Does the program cover general copyright law for AI-generated imagery?

The focus is specifically on client confidentiality and permissions. You will learn how to audit tool terms, manage embargoed material, and verify likeness rights rather than studying general copyright law.

Will I learn the technical setup for building my own AI agents?

No. This course does not cover the technical infrastructure of AI agents. Instead, it focuses on the rules, triggers, and legal escalation points required to use those tools safely within a team.

How does the course help with unreleased campaigns and embargoed products?

You will learn how to create a specific process for handling embargoed material within AI workflows. This includes designing an 'embargo trigger' in your production pipeline to prevent premature AI generation or distribution.

What will I learn about people's likenesses and synthetic spokespeople?

The course teaches you how to establish a system for tracking and verifying permissions in a shared record. You will learn how to ensure that any synthetic version of a person is backed by an approved, written permission.

Does the course explain how to handle tool terms of service?

Yes. You will learn how to audit AI tool terms of service to identify critical clauses regarding data ownership. Specifically, you will learn to spot red-flag language that allows tool providers to use client data for model improvement.

At what point in the production pipeline should I involve legal?

The curriculum teaches you how to determine the exact points where legal review is mandatory. You will write a set of 'triggers' that require a legal sign-off before an AI asset can move to the next production stage.

How do I ensure everything is compliant before the final delivery?

You will learn how to integrate a rights review into your final 'Factory' delivery gates. This includes creating a final checklist for the release stamp that confirms compliance for confidentiality, embargoes, and likenesses.
