The BFI does not prohibit AI but requires applicants to disclose AI use both in funded work and in preparing the application, and to provide a warranty that no third-party rights have been or will be infringed. These requirements are now standard across BFI funding rounds and represent the template for industry acceptable-use norms that animation graduates entering the funded sector will encounter.}, keywords = {institutional-policy, generative-ai, production-practice, content-provenance}, note = {AI \& Animation Education Knowledge Base} }
