Yes. Amazon KDP currently allows books containing AI-generated material, but publishers must disclose AI-generated text, images or translations during the publishing process. Amazon distinguishes between AI-generated and AI-assisted content.
What does KDP consider AI-generated?
If an AI tool created the actual content, Amazon considers it AI-generated. That includes text an AI drafted even if you later edited it substantially.
AI wrote a chapter from your outline
An image generator created your book cover art
AI translated your manuscript
Those are AI-generated uses.
What does KDP consider AI-assisted?
AI-assisted content starts with material you created. You might use AI to:
Proofread your own writing
Improve grammar
Suggest alternatives
Check errors
Brainstorm ideas
Give feedback
Amazon currently says those uses do not require AI disclosure.
Does Amazon label AI books for customers?
The AI disclosure is part of KDP's publishing workflow. It is not the same thing as placing an “AI-generated” label on the public Amazon product page. The purpose is to tell Amazon how the content was produced.
Can low-quality AI books get removed?
Yes. Using AI does not exempt a book from KDP's other policies. Publishers remain responsible for copyright, trademarks, accuracy, misleading content, customer experience, and compliance with KDP's content rules.
Uploading hundreds of barely reviewed generated pages is not a publishing strategy. Read your book. Edit it. Make sure it belongs in the marketplace.
The tricky part: remembering what AI wrote
This gets complicated when you use AI differently across a long project. Maybe you wrote chapters 1–5 yourself, AI expanded chapter 6, AI drafted chapter 8, and you rewrote half of chapter 10. Six months later, KDP asks how the book was created.
That is easier to answer when your writing process has been tracked.
AI disclosure in Author Magic
Author Magic's Authorship Dial records how AI was used across the manuscript. You can write every word yourself, have AI expand your writing, shape notes into prose or generate chapters from your brief.
Because those choices are part of the project, Author Magic can help prepare the corresponding AI information when you build your KDP publishing package. That is a better approach than trying to reconstruct your AI use from memory at the end of an 80,000-word project.
KDP's rules change from time to time. Check KDP's own help pages for the current requirements before you publish.
