In brief
- ArtStation will require creators to disclose generative AI use when publishing projects.
- Disclosure options distinguish between primarily generative AI, mixed methods, and work created with 100% non-generative methods.
- By default, the AI filter will hide projects with a disclosure or certain AI tags.
- NoAI will be enabled by default for new projects; the setting will also apply to existing projects and profiles.
ArtStation has expanded its platform settings so creators can disclose when generative AI has been used in their work, and users can control whether they see that content. In an update reported by 80 Level on November 10, 2026, artists publishing content were given new disclosure options, while the AI content filter was enabled by default. Users can change how strictly the filter operates.
What disclosures will be required when publishing a project?
When publishing a new project, creators will indicate whether generative AI was used in its creation. ArtStation’s options are intended to distinguish the extent to which different methods were used: work created primarily with generative AI, work combining generative and non-generative methods, and work created with 100% non-generative methods.
These disclosures will give people viewing a project more information about how it was made. Artists can also report work they suspect was created with AI but has not been labeled as such. This means both creator disclosures and user reports are part of the platform’s filtering process.
How will the default filter work?
The AI content filter will be enabled by default following the update. The default setting will hide projects disclosed as having been created with generative AI, carrying the “CreatedwithAI” tag, or associated with generative AI tools. The filter for content suspected of being undisclosed will also start at its strictest level.
Users can choose among three sensitivity settings for filtering suspected content:
Strict: Filters more content, even when there are only a few signals.
Balanced: Requires a moderate level of user reporting before filtering.
Loose: Filters content only when user signals are strong.
Users can also choose whether to hide disclosed generative AI content and whether to allow work combining generative and non-generative methods. So the filter is not just a single on/off option: users can separately set which types of content they see and the threshold for handling suspected work.
The NoAI setting and its impact on visualization portfolios
ArtStation’s existing NoAI setting is designed to indicate that an artist’s work should not be used to train an AI system. According to 80 Level, this setting will now be enabled by default for every new project and applied retroactively to existing projects and profiles. The source does not provide details on how this preference technically prevents use outside the platform.
For those putting together architecture, interior design, and archviz portfolios, the new disclosure options make it possible to describe more clearly how generative AI was used in a project. For example, if a visualization was created using mixed methods, creators can select the relevant disclosure option; viewers can also choose whether to allow this type of content. However, the source provides no information about compatibility with specific 3D software, hardware requirements, licensing terms, or pricing. The change should therefore be viewed primarily in terms of portfolio presentation and content discovery.

Since generative AI can be used at different stages in archviz and architecture portfolios, ArtStation’s disclosure options that distinguish between methods could give viewers more context. Letting users choose their filter preferences also aims to bring together, on the same platform, people who do not want to see AI content and those who follow mixed production workflows.
For offices and visualization teams in Turkey, the practical value lies less in a new hardware or software feature and more in how a portfolio is presented. Still, it is worth monitoring how disclosures are applied and what the NoAI setting covers. As the source mentions no changes to pricing, licensing, or technical compatibility, it is more accurate for now to assess this update in terms of content management rather than production costs.
Frequently asked questions
How do you disclose AI use on ArtStation?
When publishing a project, creators will indicate whether generative AI was used. The options distinguish between primarily generative AI, mixed methods, and work created with 100% non-generative methods.
Is ArtStation’s AI filter on by default?
Yes. By default, it hides projects with a disclosure or certain AI tags; filtering for suspected content starts at the strictest level.
What does ArtStation’s NoAI setting do?
The NoAI setting indicates that an artist’s work should not be used to train an AI system. It will be enabled by default for new projects and also applied to existing projects and profiles.
