BackerKit Bans AI-Generated Content to Ensure Fair Rewards for Creators

BackerKit bans AI-generated content on its crowdfunding platform, including art for board games. This contrasts with Kickstarter which has no such ban.

The policy goes into effect October 4th and emphasizes that projects must have human-created content, not just AI-generated.

BackerKit wants to ensure creators are fairly rewarded for their work, which AI tools often don't guarantee.

Projects with solely AI-generated content may be denied or removed from BackerKit. The company will contact creators to verify human input.

BackerKit will also prevent content uploaded by creators being used to train AI systems.
