Details
In August 2024, Procreate published an official statement at procreate.com/ai stating it would never incorporate generative AI into its apps. The company distinguishes between generative AI — which it rejects — and machine learning more broadly, which it acknowledges has merit. Procreate's privacy policy also confirms that the app does not collect or share user data, meaning user artwork cannot be used to train AI models. This stance applies to all Procreate products, including Procreate for iPad, Procreate Pocket, and Procreate Dreams.
