Artificially Generated / Edited (AI) ArtworkAnime Milwaukee appreciates the creativity and talents of individual artists. Our goal is to support artists and their content. Taking this into consideration, the sale of all AI-generated art is prohibited within all areas of the AMKE Exhibit Hall, including Artist Alley. This includes but is not limited to AI-assisted, AI-generated, and retraced/overdrawn AI works. Due to the potential copyright infringing inclusion of work from many artists in AI modeling, this work will be treated under our bootleg policy if identified. Artists and/or vendors with questionable items will be asked to remove them from the hall. Failure to remove any item when requested by AMKE staff will result in ejection from the exhibit hall and forfeiture of the exhibit space without refund.
