Valve Reacts To Reports Of Games Getting Blocked From Steam Over AI Issues

Gaming giant Valve has responded to reports that it is rejecting games from Steam that contain content created with artificial intelligence. Specifically, some developers have reported that Valve is blocking games from Steam if the developers cannot prove they have the underlying asset rights.

Valve reacted to this with a public statement shared with GameSpot. The company said it believes AI will have a role to play in the future of game development. At the same time, Valve said the “legal uncertainty” surrounding AI might prove to be a sticking point in the near future as AI evolves.

“We are continuing to learn about AI, the ways it can be used in game development, and how to factor it in to our process for reviewing games submitted for distribution on Steam,” Valve said. “Our priority, as always, is to try to ship as many of the titles we receive as we can. The introduction of AI can sometimes make it harder to show a developer has sufficient rights in using AI to create assets, including images, text, and music. In particular, there is some legal uncertainty relating to data used to train AI models. It is the developer’s responsibility to make sure they have the appropriate rights to ship their game.”
