Generative AI Guidelines
The KQED Youth Media Challenge invites youth to explore how they see themselves , the world and the future by creating original audio, video and images and sharing them on the Challenge Showcase. As part of KQED’s commitment to elevating diverse youth voices and supporting civic dialogue, we recognize there are benefits and risks associated with using generative AI tools for media creation. These best practices outline the use of GenAI tools when creating media for the Youth Media Challenge, ensuring our collective, ongoing commitment to ethical and responsible media creation.
