Valve Clarifies Stance on AI-Generated Games on Steam
Reports of Steam banning AI-generated content have been misinterpreted. Valve PR rep Kaci Boyle stated that their goal is to integrate AI into existing review policies, not discourage its use.
Current review process considers copyright law, and developers can utilize AI technologies as long as they don't infringe on existing copyrights. Steam will refund app-submission credits for rejected games as they refine the review process.
This clarification follows concerns raised by potterharry97's Reddit post and another game dev's similar claim. Valve wants to strike a balance between enabling AI in games while protecting copyright holders' rights.
Valve's developer submission rules prohibit using content without adequate rights. Potterharry97's rejection message mentioned AI-generated art relying on copyrighted material. The emergence of AI raises complex copyright discussions.
Lawsuits related to AI have surfaced, involving open-source code usage and copyright infringement. Valve's proactive policy on AI-created assets reflects the need to address these challenges.
Stay tuned as Valve continues refining its review process, promoting AI integration while upholding copyright compliance on Steam.
