For better or for worse, artificial intelligence is here to stay and everything indicates that it will have more and more presence in the production of video games. Of course, this scenario arouses all kinds of concerns and fears in the players and the developers themselves.
Last week, a developer claimed that Steam rejected its game for using AI-generated material. Although the art in question was changed, the project was declined a second time. After this case came to light, more creators shared similar stories on reddit.
The community began to theorize that Steam banned games that are made with artificial intelligence or use such technology, which worried the creatives. Faced with the wave of speculation, Valve ruled with a release where he explains how he controls the use of AI in games that are accepted in the digital store.

Are AI games allowed on Steam?
“We know this is a constantly evolving technology, and our goal is not to discourage its use on Steam. Instead, we are working on how to integrate it into our existing review policies. Stated clearly, our process is a reflection of current copyright laws and policies, not an added layer of our opinion. As these laws evolve, so will our process,” the company said.
Valve stresses that developers must be responsible and ensure that the AI-generated material they use in their games does not infringe copyright laws. He points out that it is increasingly difficult to determine when a studio or creative has the rights to use images, text or music that are the work of artificial intelligence.
The company indicates that it will always encourage innovation and recognizes that AI will play a role in the creation of video games. However, it indicates that developers are prohibited from infringing copyrights when using such technology.
“We will learn about AI, the ways it can be used in game development, and how to factor it into our review process for games that are submitted for distribution on Steam. Our priority, as always, is to try to release as many titles as we can,” Valve said.
But tell us, what do you think of this situation? Do you think AI will play an important role in game development? Let us read you in the comments.
