KDP's guidelines don't ban it. They require you to tell KDP about AI-generated text, images or translations when you publish, or edit and republish, and every book must still meet KDP's other content guidelines. AI-assisted work, where you wrote the content and AI only edited it or helped you brainstorm, does not need to be disclosed.
Yes. KDP counts content an AI tool created as AI-generated “even if you applied substantial edits afterwards.” Text you write yourself, using AI only for ideas, counts as AI-assisted.
Yes. KDP says AI-generated images include cover and interior images and artwork. A cover a person made, with AI used only to clean it up, counts as AI-assisted.
KDP doesn't publish how it checks. Its rule is about honesty, not detection: you tell it what was AI-generated, and you are responsible for your content. We won't help anyone hide AI use, and detector scores are not a reliable answer either way.
No. It sets out what KDP, the US Copyright Office and the Authors Guild say, quoted and dated. For a legal question about your book, ask a publishing lawyer.
Every rule on this page is quoted word for word from its source, as read on November 2, 2026. Rules change: if a platform updates its wording, we update this page and the date.
