Valve responds to controversy over Steam games using AI assets
A developer recently claimed its game was rejected by Valve for having “obviously AI-generated assets.” The story gained traction and Valve has now released a statement concerning its position on using AI to create Steam games.
In summary, it’s not a hard ‘no,’ developers just need to ensure they obtain all the necessary rights to anything within their games. At the moment, as many AI tools scrape copyrighted artwork, a lot of the resulting products exist within a legal gray area. “There is some legal uncertainty relating to data used to train AI models,” Valve’s statement reads.
