In short
The Mississippi Arts Commission (MAC) sets AI rules for its Artist Roster application. A human applicant must develop, review, and enter all application data. Creative work must reflect human authorship. Applicants must certify whether generative AI was used and explain how it was used. Undisclosed use makes the application ineligible. If generative AI was used in artwork, the human-authored draft and the final work must be uploaded together as one work sample.
Varies by program. The rule is set in each program's guidelines, so check the one you are applying to.
For applicants
- For grant applications, a human applicant must develop, review, and enter all required data. Artworks must reflect human authorship and intent, and AI-generated work does not meet that standard. [1]
- Applicants must certify whether generative AI was used in any part of the application. If it was, they must explain how. Undisclosed use of generative AI makes the application ineligible. [1]
- If generative AI was used in artwork, applicants must upload the original human-authored draft and the final work together as one work sample. [1]
For reviewers
State of Mississippi has published no rules for reviewers.

Mississippi Artist Roster Application Process (opens in a new tab)
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. The final result must reflect human authorship and intent, rather than AI-generated work (e.g., lacking a personal voice, specific details).
Undisclosed use of generative AI will result in the application being ineligible. AI CERTIFICATION* No, generative AI was NOT used for any portion of this application. Yes, generative AI was used in this application. AI EXPLANATION If you answered “Yes” to the question above, please explain how generative AI was used in the grant application.
If you used generative AI in your artwork, upload both the original human-authored draft and the final work together as one work sample.
