Feature Request: Introducing a Fine Art Exception for Public Figure Image Policies
OpenAI Developer Community
July 3, 2026
Thank you for your thoughtful reply and for the warm welcome.
I completely agree that public figure imagery requires careful safeguards, especially regarding deepfakes and identity misuse.
My proposal is not intended to reduce those protections. Rather, I hope OpenAI might consider whether traditional fine art could be evaluated differently from photorealistic imagery, since the artistic context and the potential for deception are often quite different.
I appreciate you taking the time to share your perspective.
