ArtStation announces that NoAI will be enabled by default for new projects and applied to existing uploads and profiles.
What changed
The platform describes a shift from opting into protection to default protection with an opt-out.
Records the announcement; actual coverage was not checked item by item while logged in. Current terms were checked on 11 September 2026 as supplementary evidence, without assuming the same version applied on 2 September. Section 46(c) permits safety and discovery tools: this is not a ban on all AI. The announcement still describes stronger discovery controls as future work, rather than a comprehensive ban on AI images.
