Will properly-disclosed AI-generated uploads, or logging into an account from a previously flagged device, risk suspension?

Hi everyone,

 

I have two related questions about Adobe Stock contributor accounts and would really appreciate insight from experienced contributors.

 

1) A friend of mine recently created a new Adobe Stock contributor account. He only uploads AI-generated images. For every single image, he checks the "Created using Generative AI" box, adds a proper title, relevant keywords, and selects the correct category before submitting. Assuming he continues working exactly this way — only AI-generated content, always correctly disclosed and labeled — is there any risk that his account could still get suspended?

 

2) My own Adobe Stock account was suspended some time ago. If I log into my friend's account from the same phone that was previously used to access my suspended account, and upload AI-generated images there (properly disclosed, same process as above), could this cause my friend's account to get suspended or flagged — even though the images and disclosure process themselves are correct?

 

Any guidance from people with contributor experience would be really helpful. Thank you!

    1. No.
    2. Yes. You’d be circumventing the rules, which is probably why your account was suspended in the first place. Don’t risk it. For your sake or your friends.

    It doesn't sound like you're talking about a friend. It sounds like you opened a new account and are trying to upload images there with the same IP. Your account was suspended. You are not allowed to open another account. Period! If this was a friend's account, you are not allowed to upload images from your IP to her account or his account. They will be suspended also.

    What a loaded question!  

    Q: If I look both ways before crossing the street every time, will I still get hit by a vehicle?  

    A: Anything’s possible.

    To elaborate on ​@daniellei4510 answer, you are required to be the owner of assets in your portfolio and the tax information for your account is for an individual. Shared accounts are not allowed.
