Anti-AI Abuse Policy
Effective Date: 2026/03/17
Human Authorship Without Replacement
Studio Kane’s Position on Artificial Intelligence & Creative Integrity
At Studio Kane, modern tools may assist our workflow,
but they will never replace our people.
This page outlines Studio Kane’s Anti-AI Abuse stance:
A commitment to ensuring technological progress coexists with human craft, not at its expense.
What We Do NOT Use AI For:
To be absolutely clear:
-
We do NOT use AI-generated voices for any of our characters.
-
We do NOT use AI-generated voice over refinement or voice cloning.
-
We do NOT use AI-generated animation for any character movement, fight choreography, or emotional expression.
-
We do NOT use AI-generated promotional artwork, character designs, key art, or backgrounds.
-
We do NOT use AI-generated storyboards, keyframes, or produce inbetweens.
-
We do NOT use AI-generated original score, nor do we replace our contracted musical talent with generative audio systems.
-
We do NOT use AI-generated scripts, dialogue, or story material.
All of which are contractually bound commitments, not performative reassurance.
No exceptions.
What We May Use Workflow Support Tools For:
That said, Studio Kane will not pretend to be anti-technology. That would be dishonest.
Like most modern studios, we occasionally use human-supervised software tools for technical workflow support only.
As a studio operating across multiple creative industries and cultural perspectives, we recognize that opinions on these technologies vary widely. Regardless of those differences, transparency should never be optional.
For that reason, we believe it is important to clearly communicate the limited ways these tools may be used within our production pipeline.
These tools may assist with:
-
Technical calculations, application scripting, and internal R&D
-
Scriptwriting quality control support, but strictly limited to:
-
plot inconsistency flagging across four seasons of complex narrative mapping
-
additional cultural accuracy checks (under the continued guidance of paid cultural consultants)
-
additional foreign-language refinement (under the continued guidance of paid language consultants)
-
These uses exist solely to reduce repetitive strain while improving production efficiency, consistency, and technical accuracy.
And if that list feels surprisingly mundane for an entire policy section, well... that's kind of the point.
At Studio Kane, we draw a strict boundary between assistance and authorship:
-
Tools may analyze, refine, and suggest corrections on material created by human artists.
-
Tools may not originate, generate, or replace that material.
This distinction is non-negotiable.
All final visuals are independently created from the ground up by Studio Kane artists.
If a piece of content did not begin with human intent and end with human execution,
it does not enter our production pipeline.
A Forward-Looking Approach
OUTLIER explores trauma, identity, self-sabotage, and codependency.
These are messy human experiences.
We believe the art reflecting them should be imperfectly human too.
As such, creativity should never be reduced to a prompt.
Whatever reaches the screen, it was created by human hands.
Guaranteed.
Studio Kane stands with artists, actors, and animators — because we are artists, actors, and animators.
We boldly invite our supporters to hold us to this claim.
And should the spotlight ever find us,
may we never be ashamed to stand at the center of it.
That is our promise.
Well... second promise.
