Pitfalls to watch at work
HeyGen
- An avatar of a real person is created only with their recorded consent; after an employee leaves, videos with their avatar can no longer be used
- Label a digital presenter in client videos as generated: hiding it creates a risk of claims and falls under disclosure rules
- Check stress and pronunciation on a short fragment before rendering the full video
Superhuman
- The client gets access to the whole mailbox: for work email, clear it with your IT and security teams
- A draft "in your style" copies your habits too, including sharp ones: reread it
- Triage hides some emails in other sections: review them during the first weeks so you do not miss an invoice
