Video games would contain AI-driven gameplay systems such as matchmaking, non-player character (NPC) behaviour, or iconic fictional AI characters such as SHODAN and GLaDOS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, generative AI is being used to produce game assets and speed up development. This is threatening creative jobs and fuelling worries about low-effort releases or \u201cslop\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you buy a video game today, you may have no reliable way of knowing whether generative AI was used in any part of its development \u2013 from the art and voice work to the code and marketing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Should developers disclose it? Since 2023, AI disclosure in video games has gone from non-existent to patchy. It\u2019s arguably more to do with copyright concerns than being transparent with players.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A messy baseline<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Steam, owned by US video game company Valve, is the largest digital storefront for PC games. It\u2019s also the closest thing to a baseline for AI disclosure \u2013 simply because it was the first major platform to formalise a position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Amid the rise of AI in 2023, Valve rejected AI-produced games on Steam, citing legal uncertainty and stating the company was \u201ccontinuing to learn about AI\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By January 2024, Valve formalised its disclosure rules, requiring developers to declare two categories of AI use: pre-generated content (made during development) and live-generated content (created while the game runs).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While industry leaders are optimistic about AI\u2019s role in game development, disclosure remains contentious. Tim Sweeney, chief executive of Steam\u2019s competitor Epic Games, mocked Steam\u2019s AI disclosure in late 2025 as being akin to telling players what shampoo developers use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-bluesky-social wp-block-embed-bluesky-social\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"bluesky-embed\" data-bluesky-uri=\"at:\/\/did:plc:xwqgusybtrpm67tcwqdfmzvy\/app.bsky.feed.post\/3m6myvng2ob2b\" data-bluesky-cid=\"bafyreiaqegznemxd2goyzfsc6pj6ttva2zlttcn52onvpiav3arja6jp5i\"><p>&#34;Why stop at AI use? We could have mandatory disclosures for what shampoo brand the developer uses&#34; \u2014 Epic boss Tim Sweeney says Steam should ditch its AI generated content disclosure. https:\/\/bit.ly\/4a193vt<\/p>&mdash; <a href=\"https:\/\/bsky.app\/profile\/did:plc:xwqgusybtrpm67tcwqdfmzvy?ref_src=embed\">IGN (@ign.com)<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/bsky.app\/profile\/did:plc:xwqgusybtrpm67tcwqdfmzvy\/post\/3m6myvng2ob2b?ref_src=embed\">2025-11-27T18:31:03.12991817Z<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/embed.bsky.app\/static\/embed.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In recent weeks, Valve has narrowed its disclosure rules, clarifying that developers who submit games to their platform only need to report AI if the output is directly experienced by players.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This changes what counts as relevant transparency, effectively giving a green light to AI coding and other behind-the-scenes processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Valve\u2019s focus on player-facing AI does provide consumers with some transparency and the game submissions are checked before release. However, it\u2019s not clear what happens if the makers of a game don\u2019t disclose AI when they should have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The disclosure system also keeps Steam ahead of a legal grey area regarding copyright and generative AI output. If needed, Valve could quickly pull titles affected by AI copyright claims. Some AI models can memorise copyrighted material and reproduce it when prompted, so this is not an entirely hypothetical scenario.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>AI disclosure on Steam doesn\u2019t have a consistent format \u2013 developers simply have a text field where they can write their disclosure in free form. Since it\u2019s not treated as an official tag, consumers also can\u2019t search or filter for AI content when browsing for games in the store.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-bluesky-social wp-block-embed-bluesky-social\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"bluesky-embed\" data-bluesky-uri=\"at:\/\/did:plc:tajpabpw6fmqyszdnxokk2u4\/app.bsky.feed.post\/3me3vlt7zps2s\" data-bluesky-cid=\"bafyreibpl4xt2bqgxrfeckmbniyve4ur4rsrtgji26vqetfnblvfmp446m\"><p lang=\"en\">well at least they&#39;re honest<\/p>&mdash; <a href=\"https:\/\/bsky.app\/profile\/did:plc:tajpabpw6fmqyszdnxokk2u4?ref_src=embed\">Natasha \ud83d\udd2e Wishlist Witch You Want @ Steam (@natashaluna.itch.io)<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/bsky.app\/profile\/did:plc:tajpabpw6fmqyszdnxokk2u4\/post\/3me3vlt7zps2s?ref_src=embed\">2026-02-05T07:47:48.323Z<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/embed.bsky.app\/static\/embed.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>At the time of writing, a search of SteamDB \u2013 a third-party catalogue of Steam\u2019s database \u2013 lists more than 15,000 games and software with Steam\u2019s AI disclosure label, with no total count available on Steam itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In response, user watchdogs have stepped in. The Steam curator group AI Check tracks games with AI-generated assets and flags whether developers disclose AI use \u2013 and how.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Players are largely in the dark<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Outside Steam, disclosure is inconsistent if not absent. Indie storefront itch.io provides a searchable \u201cAI Generated\u201d tag, but no disclosure is required on game pages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s currently no clear AI disclosure on mobile app stores or console storefronts (Nintendo, PlayStation, Xbox), and they\u2019ve been criticised for letting \u201cAI slop\u201d flood their stores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Epic Games Store and another major distribution platform, GOG.com, also lack clear AI disclosures. GOG recently faced backlash for using AI-generated artwork in its own storefront promotion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All this leaves players in the dark, while developers face backlash for AI use that many consider harmful for the industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Transparency is important<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Many players care about AI use in games and when disclosure is missing. There are plenty of cases in which developers were \u201ccaught out\u201d using generative AI and responded with ad hoc statements, asset changes, or even had Game of the Year awards rescinded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But there are also cases in which suspicion has caused cancellations or wrongful accusations of games using AI art when it was actually drawn by a human artist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is why transparency on AI use is important. Many Australians report low familiarity with AI, and research suggests having more information can shift people\u2019s views, helping people make informed choices and avoid witch hunts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many people have ethical concerns about AI use, or are worried about environmental consequences due to how many resources the AI data centres chew up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All this means AI disclosure is currently a consumer rights issue, but it\u2019s governed entirely by the platforms where people purchase the games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Players don\u2019t need to know what shampoo a developer uses. But they do deserve a clear view of whether the art was AI-generated, whether writers or voice actors were replaced, and whether a game built on AI-generated code is likely to survive an update.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Steam\u2019s disclosure system is a start, but it means little if the information can\u2019t be found or filtered for. Every game storefront should make generative AI use clear at the point of purchase \u2013 because players deserve better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\"><a href=\"https:\/\/theconversation.com\/profiles\/thomas-byers-2494600\">Thomas Byers<\/a>, PhD Candidate &amp; Research Assistant, Faculty of Engineering &amp; IT, <em><a href=\"https:\/\/theconversation.com\/institutions\/the-university-of-melbourne-722\">The University of Melbourne<\/a><\/em> and <a href=\"https:\/\/theconversation.com\/profiles\/bjorn-nansen-102356\">Bjorn Nansen<\/a>, Associate Professor, School of Computing and Information Systems, <em><a href=\"https:\/\/theconversation.com\/institutions\/the-university-of-melbourne-722\">The University of Melbourne<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">This article is republished from <a href=\"https:\/\/theconversation.com\">The Conversation<\/a> under a Creative Commons license.
