In short
The Asian American Journalists Association (AAJA) sets its AI rules by program. JCamp applicants may not use AI to assist with applications. For the AAJA Awards, humans must lead all submitted work. Any AI use must be labeled and explained, and AI photos are not accepted in photojournalism categories.
Varies by program. The rule is set in each program's guidelines, so check the one you are applying to.
