AI Image Policy Compliance

AI image generation became mainstream for Amazon sellers in 2025. Then the 2026 disclosure and representation policy landed and turned it into a minefield. About 23% of AI-enhanced lifestyle images submitted Q1 2026 got rejected. Rejection means image stripped, ranking penalty, sometimes a manual review flag on the account. A 5-gate audit before submission catches the issues that trigger Amazon's automated AI detection.

When to use this

• Generated a lifestyle scene with Nano Banana or Gemini and want to ship it
• Replaced a real product photo with a CGI/AI render
• A composite where the product is real but the model/scene is AI
• Pre-launch image set review before bulk upload

The framework. The Five-Gate AI Image Audit

Each image passes through 5 gates in order. Fail any gate, fix before next.
