A marketing team plans to publish generated product artwork commercially. It wants to understand ownership and intellectual-property risks before release. Which action is most appropriate?

1. Assume that AI generation automatically removes all copyright and trademark concerns.
2. Remove visible metadata and treat that as proof the artwork is legally unrestricted.
3. Use the model response stating that publication is legal as the only rights assessment.
4. Review the relevant model and content terms, source-data rights, and intended use with qualified reviewers before publication.
