What is the policy regarding AI generated or public domain images

Images that are in the public domain or those not created by human authorship, such as AI-generated Art, are prohibited. Art uploaded to Artrepreneur must be by the copyright holder or author of the work. Images in the public domain do not have copyright protection. Additionally, Artrepreneur follows the guidelines of the U.S. Copyright Office, which states that A.I.-created images lack the human authorship necessary to support a copyright claim and are, therefore, in the public domain.  However, AI or public domain images that are altered to include copyrightable materials created by the artist, such as in collages or mixed media pieces, may be acceptable.
