Valve Takes Strict Stance Against Copyright-Infringing AI Art in Steam Games

Valve clarifies that it is not banning games with AI-generated content on Steam, but rather working on integrating it into their existing review policies. The company emphasizes that developers can use AI technologies as long as they do not infringe on existing copyrights. Valve will refund app-submission credits for developers whose games were rejected due to AI copyright issues, while refining their review process. The emergence of AI has complicated discussions around copyright, leading to lawsuits and Valve's proactive policy on AI-created assets.
