How ALS Uses AI and Credits Human Creativity

1. Studio Mentor (AI Assistant)

Studio Mentor is an optional private beta for explicitly authorised testers. When enabled, it provides educational guidance about pricing, licensing, and commissions.

• What data is processed: Your question and the limited conversation context needed for a response are sent to the configured AI provider only after the beta entitlement and optional-AI setting are both active. The provider and fields must be disclosed in the beta evidence before the feature is enabled.
• Data retention: The provider retention and any ALS conversation storage must be verified and disclosed before the beta is enabled. This draft does not promise a 30-day provider period or session-only ALS retention without that evidence.
• Limitations: Studio Mentor provides educational guidance only. It cannot provide legal, tax, or financial advice. Responses should not be relied upon as professional counsel.
• Private beta entitlement required: Authentication alone is not enough. Studio Mentor is available only to accounts explicitly authorised through the ALS beta entitlement, and each user must also enable optional AI in their privacy settings.

2. Creator Responsibilities

• Disclose significant AI assistance when uploading artwork.
• The current Mentor contract does not authorise training on uploaded artwork.
• You retain full ownership and copyright of your original work.

3. Platform Commitments

• Label AI-assisted works where disclosed by the creator.
• Keep ordinary safety moderation available independently of the optional Studio Mentor beta.
• Never use AI to replace creator credit, attribution, or fair compensation.
• Maintain transparency about which features use AI technology.

4. Third-Party AI Evidence

A repository integration is not evidence that an AI provider is enabled in production. The private beta must remain unavailable until the selected provider, contract, data fields, location, transfer safeguards and retention are recorded in the launch evidence.
