CN: AI-generated texts will be considered “non-original content” and will be deleted without a countdown since the site only accepts original content and translations. AI-generated images can be used in articles as supplement materials as long as they comply with CC-BY-SA 3.0 and Image Use Policy, but cannot be posted as artworks on art pages as they are not considered original.

FR: There is no policy yet but the use of AI-generated media is discouraged due to its unclear status, pending clear legislation on the matter. It can be expected from both the European and French legislators to settle on a rather strict interpretation of moral rights that makes it hard for any AI content generation model to release its content under conditions that are compatible with the CC BY-SA 3.0 license.
IT: There is no policy but the use of AI-generated media is discouraged for the same reasons as FR.
ZH: There is no policy but the use of AI-generated media is discouraged.
« There is no specific policy for AI yet. But that kind of media [AI-generated media] is generally considered incompatible with CC by our staff and thus its usage is practically discouraged, if not forbidden. »

DE: Existent policy completely forbids the usage of AI-generated media in all articles, including in translated articles.

« In Japan, there is no law recognizing "fair use", and there are no laws or precedents regarding the copyright of machine-generated content.
For several years, SCP-JP has banned the direct use of "AI/machine learning generated" media, including machine translation, and responded to individual cases.
In response to the prevalence of AI-generated media last year (as it is already 2023 in Japan), SCP-JP announced a "Provisional ban on the use of media generated by AI services":
http://scp-jp.wikidot.com/forum/t-15377820/aiSCP-JP also added the following sentence to the "Examples of prohibited media" section in the "Image Use Policy" page;
"Media generated using various AI-generated media services"
http://scp-jp.wikidot.com/image-use-policyThis provisional ban may be withdrawn if precedents or judgments are obtained from the Japanese judiciary, Creative Commons, or other public or quasi-public institutions. »
