Valve to not approve Steam games that use AI artwork

Valve is not banning all AI generated content except copyrighted infringed one

Previously, due to multiple Reddit posts, a perception was built that Steam would no longer be publishing games with AI-generated content. However, Valve had a different statement.

In a statement given to The Verge, Valve PR representative Kaci Boyle said the company’s goal is not to discourage the use of AI-generated content on Steam. Instead, they are working on how to integrate it into existing review policies. Their focus is to ensure developers do not infringe on existing copyrights in the AI-generated content.

To compensate the developers rejected over AI copyright issues, Steam will refund app-submission credits as the company refines its review process.

The introduction of new measures comes as the use AI-related tools is rapidly increasing.
