Generative Video assets, like Veo-3 and Sora 2, are artificial intelligence components created, trained, and deployed by third parties, rather than by Synthesia itself. When making these features available through the Services to customers, Synthesia takes steps to test and verify their performance and accuracy and to apply similar governance and moderation controls that otherwise apply to the native components of the Services. When possible, Synthesia will onboard the providers of these components as sub-processors. The goal is to give you a single, trusted environment for video creation without the burden of sourcing and integrating these models on your own.
Unlike Synthesia's native components, generative video assets are often general application models that can be prompted to create a wide variety of outputs. The content produced by generative video assets ultimately reflects the prompts that you provide, notwithstanding the governance and moderation controls. For that reason, customers must exercise good judgement should they elect to use, as they will be responsible in the event they prompt these components in a manner that violates the Acceptable Use Policy , for example, by generating and publishing an asset that infringes a third party's intellectual property rights.
