Discover WeVideo’s AI policy, which WeVideo tools are AI-assisted, and important privacy and security principles.
WeVideo is committed to using AI technologies ethically and responsibly. WeVideo follows data governance principles and best practices in handling AI-related data, including data storage, processing, sharing, and retention. WeVideo complies with applicable data protection laws, industry standards, and regulatory requirements related to AI technologies, such as GDPR and CCPA.
Student data is completely private and untouched in any AI features. WeVideo does not use any student or personal data for training of AI models. The use of AI features is not forced; users must opt-in using this button to use AI features.
AI implementation & technical partners
WeVideo uses the following services to power AI features:
- AWS Bedrock
- Anthropic Claude
- AWS Transcribe
- DeepFilterNet
WeVideo’s Subtitle Generator uses the AWS Transcribe service. The AI Assisted-Interactions are powered by Amazon Web Services Bedrock and Anthropic Claude and the Background Noise Reducer uses DeepFilterNet.
Data is processed for the specific task and not retained for external model improvement. There is a 30-day data retention period. In the event you terminate your WeVideo account, associated personal data is also deleted when you opt to delete PII.
Generative vs. non-generative AI
Generative AI creates new content — images, code, and text — whereas non-generative AI identifies existing data to make predictive content. WeVideo uses a combination of both generative AI and non-generative AI tools.
Generative AI
- AI Assisted Interactions: Analyzes transcripts to suggest questions
Questions can be edited, adjusted for time location, or deleted as users see fit. This is an easy way to assign interactive activities that pedagogically align with a Bloom’s Taxonomy model.
Non-generative AI
- Subtitle Generator: Provides speech-to-text transcription
- Background Noise Reducer: Provides audio cleanup
The Subtitle Generator identifies speech within video and generates a .vtt caption file as a companion document to the video. Though automatically enabled in WeVideo, subtitles can (and should) be edited for accuracy. The .vtt file can also be used on any other video sharing platform with built-in controls on when to display them. The Subtitle Generator can be used for any video once exported but it does not automatically apply and has to be enabled.
The Background Noise Reducer takes a raw audio file and uses AI to identify a “primary” voice. It reduces the other identified background noise using a proprietary deployment of the DeepFilterNet v2 model without any training of the model. This feature is only used when triggered and is not automatically applied to recordings. This feature results in cleaner and crisper sounding content.
Access & permissions
WeVideo's AI tools are designed to save time on lesson planning, make learning more accessible, and deliver high-quality video content. For this reason, administrators have the broadest permissions and can control which AI features are accessible for teachers and students.
AI features are only available in the teacher and administrative accounts with the exception of the Subtitle Generator which is available to students. Users can easily see which tools are AI-assisted, as designated by a magic wand or AI graphic inside the platform.
Disclaimer and human oversight
WeVideo AI features are meant to improve efficiency for educators while maintaining high standards of teaching and learning. We recommend using them for personal and non-commercial use. Users should use their own discretion and treat AI assistance as a co-teacher, not a teaching replacement. Teachers and administrators are responsible for overseeing safe AI implementation and use.
WeVideo’s AI features are human-centered and use an opt-in approach to trigger the tools. Privacy and safety remain top priorities for WeVideo’s ethical AI implementation. While AI saves time, users remain responsible for the final accuracy of their content and should remain active participants of the AI-assisted learning process.
