# AI content disclosure

> Visible AI labels, watermarks, and Content Credentials on generated audio and video.

Generated clip audio and video can be recognized as AI in two ways: a visible overlay on the video, and machine-readable marks on the files.

This page describes those marks.

## What we always apply

These marks are on every take. They cannot be turned off.

| Mark                                                                                                                     | Where                 | What it is                             |
| ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | --------------------- | -------------------------------------- |
| [AudioSeal](https://ai.meta.com/research/publications/proactive-detection-of-voice-cloning-with-localized-watermarking/) | Generated audio       | Invisible watermark in the waveform    |
| [VideoSeal](https://ai.meta.com/research/publications/video-seal-open-and-efficient-video-watermarking/)                 | Generated video       | Invisible watermark in the pixels      |
| [C2PA](https://c2pa.org/) Content Credentials                                                                            | Audio and video files | Signed provenance attached to the file |

The AudioSeal and VideoSeal payload is `0x414C` (ASCII `AL`, Akapulu Labs). The watermarks stay in the media if someone copies the file without the C2PA box.

C2PA uses intent `CREATE` and digital source type `trainedAlgorithmicMedia`. The files are signed with an Akapulu Labs ES256 certificate. Download the public root and verification notes from [Content Credentials](https://akapulu.com/c2pa/).

Readers that do not have our root (Photoshop, default `c2patool`) will report `signingCredential.untrusted` until it is added as a user trust anchor. The signature still proves the bytes were not edited after we signed them.

## Visible labels (optional)

On render an on-screen card can also be overlaid on the video:

* `show_ai_label` — **This is AI**
* `show_logo` — **Made by** plus the Akapulu Labs logo

Both default to `true`. `show_ai_label` can be `false` on any plan. `show_logo: false` needs [Starter](https://akapulu.com/pricing) or higher.

We recommend leaving `show_ai_label` as `true` so people watching can tell the clip is AI-generated. Some places, including the EU, have [rules about disclosing AI-generated media](https://digital-strategy.ec.europa.eu/en/faqs/transparency-obligations-under-article-50-ai-act).

Turning the on-screen label off does **not** remove AudioSeal, VideoSeal, or C2PA.

How to set the flags is in [Workflow](/guides/clips/workflow#5-render-video).
