AI Automation
Brand safety in AI content automation

Volume without controls is a liability. The review architecture that keeps automated publishing defensible.
Automated publishing scales output and it scales mistakes at exactly the same rate. The controls below are what separate a content engine from a reputational incident waiting for an audience.
Source discipline
Every factual claim in a script traces to a named source captured at research time. Unsourced claims are cut, not softened.
Rights on every asset
Music, footage and imagery need a documented licence recorded against the upload. Retrospective rights clearance across hundreds of videos is not feasible.
Disclosure where it matters
Synthetic voice and generated visuals should be disclosed in line with platform policy. Disclosure costs nothing; discovery costs the channel.
- • Named source for every factual claim
- • Licence record attached to every asset
- • Synthetic media disclosed per platform policy
- • A blocked-topic list reviewed each quarter
One accountable reviewer
Automation distributes work but accountability cannot be distributed. One named person signs off before publish — that signature is the actual control.
