State of Mississippi AI policy
Varies by programChecked November 9, 2026
In short
In its Artist Roster application, the Mississippi Arts Commission (MAC) says a human applicant must develop, review, and enter all application data, and creative work must reflect human authorship. Applicants must certify whether generative AI was used and explain how, and 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.
For applicants
- For grant applications, a human applicant must develop, review, and enter all required data, and artworks must reflect human authorship and intent rather than AI-generated work.[1]
- Applicants must certify whether generative AI was used in any part of the application and, if so, explain how. Undisclosed use of generative AI makes the application ineligible.[1]
- If generative AI was used in artwork, upload both the original human-authored draft and the final work together as one work sample.[1]

“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.”
