In short
The pages state AI rules for three named programs only, not for the funder as a whole: the FY27 Individual Artist Advancement Grant, the Utah Artist Fellowships and the Statewide Annual Exhibition. In each, AI assistance in submitted artwork must be acknowledged in the medium description, and skipping this can lead to disqualification. The Fellowship also requires literary work samples to be original and not AI-assisted. The pages give no guidance for reviewers.
Varies by program. The rule is set in each program's guidelines, so check the one you are applying to.
