V Club quietly bans games that use AI to generate art materials

With the rise of artificial intelligence art, it has begun to penetrate into the field of game development. Valve has implicitly banned developers from submitting games that use artificial intelligence to generate art materials to its store (Steam).

This news originated from a post in the ignored Reddit AIGameDev (Artificial Intelligence Game Development) subforum. In the post, a user has been trying to get their game listed on the platform.

They tried to release a game about a month ago that included some AI-generated art. They plan to improve this material before officially releasing the game. Valve says they can't release a game without the developer having all the necessary rights, this is the response they gave in an email.

Artificial intelligence is trained through large amounts of data, and companies like OpenAI, Midjourney and Adobe do not own the materials used. DALL-E 2 and Stable Diffusion are based on a large amount of copyrighted information that is often difficult to trace back to the source.

Adobe is currently under fire for using Adobe Stock assets in Firefly without crediting or compensating the creators who provided the images to the store.

AI art is being used in various entertainment productions, such as Marvel's latest series "Secret Invasion." In terms of game development, Blizzard recently received a patent for an art generation tool.
