What is the KDP AI-generated content disclosure?

Amazon KDP asks publishers to tell it whether a new or updated book contains AI-generated content. The question appears during title setup and covers the text, the images (including the cover) and translations separately. Other platforms have introduced their own AI policies, and they differ, so read each store's current rules.

KDP's guidance draws a distinction between AI-generated and AI-assisted content. Broadly, AI-generated means content that an AI tool created — even if you then edited it substantially. AI-assisted means content you created yourself and then used AI to edit, refine, error-check or brainstorm with; KDP has said AI-assisted content does not need to be disclosed. Where exactly your book falls depends on how you used the tool, so read KDP's current definitions carefully and answer honestly.

Disclosure is not the only obligation. You are responsible for your book complying with content guidelines and with intellectual property law whether or not AI was involved: check that it is accurate, original and does not reproduce copyrighted text or trademarks. KDP has also set limits on how many titles an account can publish per day, which can change.

Copyright in AI-generated material is unsettled and varies by country — in the US, the Copyright Office has said purely AI-generated material is not protected, while human-authored contributions and selection can be. This is general information, not legal advice.
