Saatchi Art deployed a policy prohibiting the sale of purely AI-prompted artworks on its platform, backed by a team review process that assesses uploaded artwork for compliance with its originality requirements. Artists who use AI tools must ensure the final piece is substantially their own work.

Details

Saatchi Art's official Help Center page, published in 2024, states that the company prohibits artworks where AI generated the final output without significant human creative transformation. The company's team reserves the right to review and assess the originality of uploaded artwork; pieces found to violate the policy may be removed. Artists must also disclose in artwork descriptions if AI tools were used at any stage. The review process is described as human-led, with no public confirmation that automated AI detection tools are used to flag submissions, though such tools are common industry practice.
