Amazon KDP allows AI-generated text and images, including cover and interior artwork, but requires disclosure of AI-generated content during publishing or republishing.

What Amazon KDP currently requires

KDP distinguishes AI-generated from AI-assisted content. AI-generated cover/interior images must be disclosed; AI-assisted content does not require that disclosure.

What you need to do

Disclose AI-generated images in KDP’s publishing flow and ensure you have the rights needed for the content you upload.

Common mistake

Do not rely on KDP acceptance as proof that an image is copyrightable or free of third-party rights issues.
