News Summary:
On July 9, 2026, Visla published guidance on AI avatar policies, outlining how companies can create, use, approve, disclose, share, and retire digital presenters, including identifying permitted avatars, access controls, communication guidelines, and video approval processes. This followed July 7 guidance for Learning & Development (L&D) teams on when to use AI avatars for training, recommending them for content requiring consistency, frequent changes, or multi-language delivery, while suggesting human presenters are better when the speaker’s identity or experience impacts message reception. Previously, on July 2, Visla released an advanced guide for creating AI avatars within its platform, noting that its Advanced Avatar model provides more natural lip-sync, facial expressions, and gestures than the Basic model, especially when the presenter is prominent on screen. These releases followed the introduction of Visla's Advanced Avatars on June 30, which launched to enhance the presenter experience within its video workflow, while the existing Basic Avatar model remains available for smaller overlays and quick presenter moments.
