AI - noise reduction?

I enjoyed participating in the June Zoom meeting after a two year hiatus due to health issues. I look forward to having the meeting at the new Senior Center. I found the Westminster Canterbury site too difficult to navigate with my mobility issues. I've read the new rules for photo submission and I don't see any mention of AI editing like Topaz Noise reduction. Is this allowed? I find with my Nikon D500 I do get a lot of noise at higher ISO's or with cropping. The Topaz program does a beautiful job of eliminating noise without destroying detail.
