KDP AI disclosure checker
Answer four questions and this KDP AI disclosure checker tells you whether Amazon requires you to declare AI-generated content. In short: if an AI tool created any of the text, images or translation, you must declare it. If you only used AI to edit or brainstorm your own work, you do not.

How this is calculated
The checker applies the two definitions in Amazon KDP's content guidelines, as of November 2026.
- AI-generated: text, images or translations created by an AI-based tool. It still counts as AI-generated if you made substantial edits afterwards. Images include the cover and any interior images or artwork. You must tell KDP about it.
- AI-assisted: you created the content yourself and used AI tools to edit, refine, error-check or otherwise improve it, or to brainstorm ideas. You do not need to tell KDP.
The rule the checker follows
- If you answer yes to AI-created text, images or translation, the result is that you must declare it. One yes is enough.
- If all three are no and you used AI only to help with your own work, the result is AI-assisted, with nothing to declare.
- If you did not use AI at all, there is nothing to declare.
KDP asks for this when you publish a new book and when you edit and republish an existing one. Either way, you are responsible for making sure all content follows the guidelines.

Questions
Does Amazon KDP allow AI-generated books?
Yes, as of November 2026, provided the book follows KDP's content guidelines and you tell Amazon about AI-generated content when you publish. You stay responsible for everything in the book, including respecting other people's intellectual property.
What is the difference between AI-generated and AI-assisted?
KDP defines AI-generated content as text, images or translations created by an AI-based tool, even if you edited them heavily afterwards. AI-assisted means you created the content yourself and used AI tools to edit, refine, error-check or improve it, or to brainstorm ideas.
Do I have to declare an AI-made cover?
Yes. KDP says AI-generated images include cover and interior images and artwork, so an AI-made cover must be declared even if you wrote every word yourself.
Do I need to declare using AI for grammar checks or brainstorming?
No. KDP treats that as AI-assisted content and says it is not necessary to inform them about it.
Do I need to declare a book made with EbookMuse?
Yes. EbookMuse writes the chapters with AI, so the text is AI-generated under KDP's definition, even after you edit it. Declare it when you publish.
