Feature Request: Introducing a Fine Art Exception for Public Figure Image Policies
OpenAI Developer Community
July 4, 2026
Thanks for raising this, @tong-118. I also appreciate @jeffvpace highlighting the challenges around deepfakes and public figure imagery.
This is a thoughtful suggestion. The distinction between traditional fine art and photorealistic images is an interesting one, and it's clear your request is focused on preserving existing safety protections while exploring whether artistic context could be handled differently.
I've shared this feedback with the team so it can be logged as a feature request and considered as part of future improvements. While I can't promise if or when changes might happen, detailed proposals like this are helpful for informing ongoing discussions.
Thanks again to both of you for the constructive conversation.
