What is considered consent for AI adult content?
Elements of Valid Consent
Valid consent means the person understands what they are agreeing to, including how their likeness will be used, where it will be shared, and for how long. It must be given freely, without coercion. For adult content, consent should be specific to that type of use.
Consent can be withdrawn at any time. If someone withdraws consent, you must stop using their likeness and remove existing content where required. Written consent is strongly recommended to avoid disputes.
How to Document Consent
A consent form should include the person's name, the specific images or likeness covered, the intended use (e.g., AI-generated adult content), distribution channels, and an expiration date if applicable. Both parties should sign and keep a copy.
For models or performers, standard release forms exist, but they may need to be adapted for AI. Ensure the form clearly states that AI will be used to generate new images. If the person is a minor, they cannot consent to adult content.
- Consent must be explicit and informed.
- Written consent is best.
- Consent can be withdrawn.
- Minors cannot consent to adult content.
- Specify AI use in the consent form.
Common mistakes
- Assuming that consent for one type of content covers AI adult content.
- Thinking that verbal consent is sufficient.
- Believing that consent is permanent and cannot be revoked.
