Background
While video production on YouTube has become more efficient due to generative AI, there has been a rapid increase in "mass-produced AI videos" aimed at generating revenue. Many of these contain ethically and legally problematic content such as fake news and copyright infringement, and placing ads on them carries the risk of being seen as "funding inappropriate creators." Brand protection measures are now essential to protect corporate social credibility.

We hope this certification program will serve as an indicator for advertisers when selecting an agency.
