Gaming has always been considered a comfort zone for AI development. back in May, nvidia released a concept video of ramen store owner Jin's realistic interactive behavior that once sparked A-share expectations for the gaming sector.

However, the reality of artificial intelligence into the game process is not a smooth sailing. One of the world's largest digital game distribution platforms, Steam, was revealed last week to have refused to release games containing AI-generated content on its platform.

A game developer said that after it submitted a new game to Steam, it was rejected for release by the platform because some of the content it used was quite obviously generated by artificial intelligence. After resubmitting its release request, it was still rejected by the platform.

Steam gave the developer feedback stating that it was unable to publish games for which the developer did not have the necessary rights.

Steam added that a review revealed that the intellectual property in the game appeared to belong to one or more third parties, and that the AI-generated art assets relied on material owned by third parties and protected by copyright. As a result, the legal ownership of AI-generated content is unclear, and Steam is unable to publish the games in question.

The sticking point is copyright

Following the concerns raised, Steam's operator Valve also released a statement saying that the company's priority is to launch as many games as possible, but the introduction of AI could complicate things as they need to know whether developers have sufficient rights to use AI-generated content.

Valve said the policy is not intended to prevent developers from releasing AI-involved games on Steam, and that the platform is currently looking at ways to integrate AI into its existing review policies. As time goes on, laws and policies will evolve and Steam's processes will be updated.

Previously, game majors like Ubisoft gleefully stated that AI would help game development, and it also announced the launch of its Ghostwriter AI tool to introduce the technology. the High on Life team, on the other hand, said it used AI to create voice dialogues for video games.

But these game developers may now need to wait a little longer; after all, the legal issues arising from the different directions of AI use remain murky. There may be no copyright controversy if only AI is used to build models of realistic mountains or to switch tasks, but the game could easily be at risk if there are traces of the artist's work in the AI-generated content.

Meanwhile, Twitter, the world's largest social media platform, recently took a stand to prevent AI from over-capturing data from the platform, while limiting the reading limit of tweets. The core of this operation also lies in the copyright issue of data.

It's not just Steam and Twitter, but more and more data owners are becoming wary of AI.

So it seems that before AI can really achieve a big breakthrough in productivity, it seems to need to break through the data above the huddle first.
