Do I have to disclose AI-generated content on Amazon KDP?

Yes. Amazon requires you to disclose AI-generated text, images, or translations when you publish or republish a book, even if you edited the AI output afterward. AI-assisted content, where you created the work and AI only helped edit or refine it, does not need to be disclosed.

What happens if I do not disclose AI content on KDP?

Amazon can remove the book from sale without prior warning, suspend or terminate your KDP account on repeat violations, and withhold pending royalties. Disclosing AI-generated content does not affect sales, rankings, or visibility.

How Amazon KDP's AI disclosure rule works

Amazon requires authors to disclose AI-generated content when publishing or republishing a book through KDP. The rule applies to three categories: text, images, and translations. The disclosure is collected through a checkbox in the publishing flow and is not shown on your book's detail page, so it does not affect sales or rankings.

The line that trips up most authors is the difference between AI-generated and AI-assisted content. AI-generated means a tool produced the material, even if you edited it afterward, and it must be disclosed. AI-assisted means you created the work and used AI only to help edit, refine, or brainstorm, and it does not need disclosure. This tool applies that distinction to each part of your book and tells you exactly what to select.
