In short
The Mississippi Arts Commission has published an AI statement for its grant programs. A human applicant must develop, review, and enter all required data in a grant application. A human must also be the primary author of any artwork. An application that uses generative AI without disclosing it is ineligible.
Limits AI. Applicants may use AI for some tasks, and the funder restricts how much of an application AI may write.
For applicants
- In a grant application, a human applicant must develop, review, and enter all required data. For artworks, a human artist, creative, or collective must be the primary author and the creative force behind the work. [1]
- An application is ineligible if it uses generative AI without disclosure. [1]
- In the Artist Roster application, an applicant who used generative AI in an artwork must upload the original human-authored draft and the final work together as one work sample. [1]
For reviewers
Mississippi Arts Commission has published no rules for reviewers.

For grant applications, a human applicant must develop, review, and enter all required data. In the creation of artworks, a human artist, creative, or collective must serve as the primary author and creative force behind the work.
Undisclosed use of generative AI will result in the application being ineligible.
If you used generative AI in your artwork, upload both the original human-authored draft and the final work together as one work sample.
