+## AI-Generated Art Policy
+
+### Overview
+
+AI-generated artwork created from scratch is **prohibited** for all game badges and achievement icons on RetroAchievements. This blanket policy promotes artwork quality and respect for the artistic community that supports the site.
+
+### Why This Policy Exists
+
+- We have a dedicated team of artists willing to create artwork for game badges and achievement icons.
+- Artists on RA receive incentives for completing art requests, similar to DevQuests.
+- Video games are an inherently visual medium, and most games contain rich assets that can be creatively used for badges and icons.
+
+### Enforcement Process
+
+If you believe art for game badges or achievement icons is AI-generated, you can send an on-site DM to RAArtTeam detailing your report.
+
+If there are concerns that artwork may be AI-generated, RAArtTeam will reach out privately with whomever created the asset(s) to clarify the situation. This process is designed to be respectful and avoid public accusations.
+
+RAArtTeam may ask questions such as:
+
+- What was the source of this artwork?
+- What editing tool did you use to create this image?
+
+Reports of suspected AI-generated art in public channels will be addressed promptly to prevent harassment of developers or artists.
