Ethics and Technology
For Stephanie Jenkins, establishing AI best practices for documentary film began as a game of catch-up, after she discovered last year that producers in the field had already begun to experiment with deploying generative AI to create false historical footage, images, and artifacts, with little or no disclosure or guardrails. Last month, she and other industry veterans released a new Best Practices guide for Use of Generative AI in Documentaries through the newly-formed Archival Producers Alliance (APA). In this edition of Decoded, Managing Editor Ryan Howzell sat down with Jenkins and fellow APA Co-Director Rachel Antell to discuss the APA's new guide and what multimedia journalists and producers stand to learn from it.
