Consent-based avatar
A consent-based avatar is an AI Avatar created only with the recorded consent of the person it depicts. It separates legitimate digital likenesses from deepfakes, which copy a person's face or voice without permission.
How consent is captured
The strongest form of consent is having the person record themselves live for the avatar, so footage can't be taken from elsewhere. Companies add written agreements covering where the likeness is used, for how long, and what happens if the person leaves.
Users talking to the avatar should also be told it is AI. Under the EU AI Act, AI systems that talk to people must disclose this unless it is obvious, and AI-generated likenesses of real people (deep fakes) must be labelled.
How Beyond Presence does it
Beyond Presence self-serve Avatars are recorded live by the person, not uploaded. Use of Avatars is governed by the Acceptable Use Policy, and the company documents its EU AI Act role and internal AI policy.
Frequently asked questions
How does Beyond Presence make sure custom Avatars are consent-based?
Self-serve custom Avatars are recorded live by the person they show, so that person takes part in creating their Avatar.
Why does Beyond Presence require a live recording?
So no one can create an Avatar of a person from existing videos without their involvement. It protects the person, your company and the users who trust what they see.
Can users tell they are talking to an AI?
Yes. Beyond Presence's own demos show an "AI generated" label and the line "You are speaking with an AI avatar, not a real human." Add the same disclosure to your own experience.
