As AI plays an increasingly significant role in content creation, ensuring its use remains compliant with established guidelines is crucial.
Core Principles for Using AIGC
Rule & What it means | What is NOT allowed | What is allowed |
1. Product must be shown truthfully AI content must accurately reflect the real product sold on Shopee Video | Adding or changing product features that do not exist; altering colour, size, material, shape, weight, or design beyond the actual listing | Using AI to enhance presentation while keeping product details accurate and consistent with the listing |
2. Results must be realistic and achievable Any “before/after” or product effect shown must reflect real, possible outcomes | AI-generated or edited transformations that exaggerate results (e.g. skin whitening, hair regrowth, body changes) | Showing product usage in a way that reflects normal, real-life outcomes without exaggeration |
3. No fake emotional or crisis stories AI must not be used to create fictional narratives to influence purchase decisions | Inventing sad stories, personal tragedies, disasters, or emergency situations to promote products | Using AI for neutral storytelling or product explanation that does not involve fabricated crises or emotional manipulation |
Product must be shown truthfully
AI-generated visuals, demonstrations, or descriptions must accurately represent the actual product being sold, including its features, appearance, quality, and functionality. Content should not mislead users into expecting something different from the real item received.
Results must be realistic and achievable
Any product effects, performance claims, or “before-and-after” results shown in AI-generated content must reflect realistic and attainable outcomes under normal usage, and should not exaggerate the effectiveness of the product.
No fake emotional or crisis stories
AI-generated characters, scenes, or narratives must not be used to fabricate emotional situations, hardships, emergencies, or crisis-related stories to manipulate viewers or pressure users into making purchases.

Using AI to enhance visuals, explain product usage, or support storytelling
Keeping all product claims aligned with actual listing information
Using AI for illustration or concept visuals where appropriate and not misleading
