The big idea
You took a photo at prom — is it yours? You took one at your job — also yours? AI can untangle who owns photos in different contexts and what you can post.
Some examples
- Ask AI who owns photos taken on the clock at work
- Ask AI about photographing minors and consent
- Ask AI about copyright for school newspaper photos
- Ask AI when you need a model release
Try it!
Pick a recent photo you took. Ask AI: can I post this for free? sell prints? use it commercially? Notice what answers depend on context.
