Artificial intelligence and transparency

Our approach

Afthonios uses generative artificial intelligence deliberately and within clear limits: some visuals, the module videos and some features of this site rely on AI, always under human art direction and editorial control. This page describes what is AI-made and how we label it, in line with the transparency obligations of the EU AI Act (Regulation (EU) 2024/1689, Article 50).

Course visuals

The cover images of our courses and most illustrations on this site are generated with AI tools, based on an art direction defined by our team. The people they depict are fictional: no image shows a real person.

These files carry an invisible, machine-readable mark embedded by the provider of the generation tool (for example Google’s SynthID watermark). On the site, visuals are flagged with the “AI visual” badge on course pages and with a notice in the catalog.

Videos

The videos of the Afthonios modules are made with the help of artificial intelligence. In French, the expert who presents the module appears as an AI-generated video avatar created from her image; the voice is her own recording. In the other languages, the module is presented by an AI-generated avatar and voice.

The content of these videos is written and validated by our team: AI gives the message an image and a voice, it does not write it. The video excerpts shown on the site feature the same avatars.

The videos of our older courses were either filmed conventionally with real experts or made with an AI-generated virtual presenter. Some of their translated versions use AI to synchronize the speaker’s voice and lip movement in another language.

Feedback in the modules

The modules of the 2026 series, including those of the trial access, do not use any AI to respond to you: the feedback you read in them is prepared in advance by our team.

In four older modules, personalized feedback is generated by AI from your answers; it is labeled in the module as “prototype IA”. How your answers are processed is described in the Privacy notice.

The conversational assistant

The assistant available on this site is an artificial-intelligence system: you are not talking to a human being. It is labeled as an “AI assistant” in its interface, and its answers may contain errors. The provider that processes the messages, Mistral AI, is named directly in the assistant window. How your messages are processed is described in the Privacy notice.

Texts

Course content and the texts on this site are written and validated under human editorial responsibility. AI may assist with drafting or translation, but every published text is reviewed and owned by our team.

The “AI visual” badge

The “AI visual” badge shown on course pages marks an image generated with artificial intelligence, in line with the transparency obligations of the EU AI Act. Clicking the badge leads to this page.
