Steam's Ban on AI-Generated Art Games Sparks Controversy
Valve, the company behind the popular gaming platform Steam, has reportedly rejected a game submission for featuring art assets generated by artificial intelligence (AI) that may rely on copyrighted material owned by third parties. The rejection message cited the unclear legal status of AI-generated art and the need for developers to affirmatively confirm ownership of the rights to the training data used by the AI. While it is unclear if this represents an official policy, Valve's caution may stem from the legal complexities surrounding AI-generated artwork and the potential for copyright infringement.
