Safe AI Photo Editing: Consent, Brands, and Likeness
The rules of thumb Magiq should teach users: use photos you can use, avoid impersonation, and keep brand references generic unless you have rights.
Consent comes first
The safest AI photo workflow starts with permission. Edit your own photos, client photos you are allowed to use, or images where the subject has agreed to the use. This matters even more for children, private people, and sensitive contexts.
Do not create impersonation content
Avoid edits that make it look like someone endorsed a product, attended an event, wore a uniform, or appeared in a situation that did not happen. Creative edits should not become deceptive identity claims.
Keep brands generic
Many viral trends are inspired by packaging, posters, or characters. Public template pages should use generic words like collectible box, movie poster, fashion doll, or sports card rather than protected brand names.
Label AI when it matters
A stylized chibi avatar is obviously creative. A realistic headshot or emotional younger-self image can be easier to misunderstand. If the context could mislead someone, label it as AI-generated.
