#TikTok recently introduced features that allow user videos to be remixed or transformed using AI tools by default. As this was not clearly communicated upfront, it raised concerns among creators. Following public backlash, the platform has moved to improve transparency and user controls.
Whatβs important to understand
When you upload a video or image:
π You still own your content
π But you grant the platform a broad licence to use, analyse, and modify it
π That content may contribute to improving AI systems.
This issue is not unique to TikTok. Platforms owned by Meta, such as Facebook and Instagram, as well as YouTube, also use large volumes of user content to develop and improve their AI technologies.
Artists such as Taylor Swift are now trademarking their voice and likeness. AI can generate new content that sounds or looks like a person without copying an original file β something traditional copyright does not fully cover.
What this means for families
The issue is no longer just who owns content, but who controls it and how it may be used in the future. Once shared, content can be analysed, reused or help train systems that remain invisible to users. For children and young people, this raises long term concerns about identity, consent, and digital footprints.
What can you do?
π Be selective about what you share β especially of children
π Use privacy settings or private accounts where possible
π π Ensure informed consent from those featured
Review platform settings and updates regularly.
If AI can learn from what we share β are we thinking long-term about what we are giving away?
This is not about avoiding technology but using it with awareness. Thoughtful, informed sharing remains one of the most effective ways to protect your identity and intellectual property in the AI era. ... See MoreSee Less
