Foundation for Contemporary Arts AI policy

For applicants

• Applicants do not need to disclose AI used to help write text answers to FCA's questions, though FCA notes AI has a flattening effect on artist statements and project narratives.[1]
• Disclosure is required when AI is used to generate media (images, audio, or video) or is a primary contributor to, or responsible for most of, the final work.[1]
• To disclose, applicants must write "Generated by AI" in the description of each work sample. If AI was necessary or integral to the work, FCA expects that to appear in the artist statement and project description too.[1]

For reviewers

• FCA staff and panelists do not use AI in the review of applications.[1]

   “In your application, the use of AI does not need to be disclosed if it was used to assist you in writing text answers to our questions. However, please note that AI has a flattening effect on artist statements and project narratives.”

   “We require disclosure of the use of AI when: • AI is used to generate media, including images, audio, or video. • AI is a primary contributor to the final work product or responsible for a majority of the final content.”

   “How to disclose: • In the description of each work sample, you must write “Generated by AI.” If AI was necessary to your project or is integral in your work, we expect that fact to appear somewhere in your artist statement and project description as well.”
