Kickstarter aims to maintain the integrity of its platform by suspending projects that do not comply with the disclosure requirements related to AI usage. Creators who attempt to circumvent Kickstarter’s policies or intentionally misrepresent their projects will be barred from submitting future projects.
The platform is taking a proactive approach to address community concerns surrounding AI. The new policy was formulated through collaboration with input from Kickstarter staff, creators, backers, and other platform leaders. By disclosing the use of AI in a new section on the project pages in the creator’s own words, Kickstarter seeks to provide backers with a clear understanding of the AI’s role and impact in each project.
