AI presenters and media rights

Who the presenters are

Our current male presenter is based on photographs supplied with the depicted owner's permission. Our female presenter is a generated character. The current narration uses synthetic stock voices; the male voice is not a recording or clone of the owner's natural voice.

Generated studio scenes do not show a reporter witnessing the event. We do not use a real person's likeness or cloned voice without the necessary permission, or make a public figure appear to deliver a statement they did not give.

Disclosure and visual context

Use each platform's applicable synthetic-media disclosure for realistic generated presenters. On YouTube, our presenter videos use the AI-content disclosure. Verify that the intended disclosure appears on the published video; a local configuration setting alone is not evidence that the public label is present.

Keep headlines and captions about the news. Platform labels and this policy explain the production method. If a generated illustration, reconstruction or altered scene could be confused with actual event footage, identify it clearly in that content. A platform AI label alone does not make a misleading event depiction acceptable.

Images, footage, music and consent

Use original, licensed or otherwise lawfully usable media and retain the basis for that use. A source credit, available RSS image or publicly visible social post does not by itself establish permission to reuse the asset.

Check the permitted uses of production models, fonts, voices and music, including commercial use where relevant. Keep consent and asset provenance with the production record. Do not assume every AI output is free of third-party rights.

To raise a likeness, voice or media-rights concern, contact @rounds.news on Instagram with the affected URL and the basis of your concern. The operator must review permission disputes before reusing the disputed asset.

Delivery and responsibility

Speech runs at a natural pace with a complete ending. We do not cut a sentence or accelerate a read to fit a 30-second target. The length may vary with the story and the platform's format limits.

Review source claims, translations, pronunciation, captions, visuals and the final exported file. Technical checks have limits and must be described honestly. Generated production does not remove the operator's responsibility to follow our editorial standards and corrections process.
