Steam Takes a Stand Against Copyright-Infringing AI Assets
TL;DR
Valve, the owner of the gaming platform Steam, is reportedly rejecting games that use AI-generated art assets due to concerns over copyright infringement. The legal ownership of such AI-generated art is unclear, leading Valve to take a cautious approach. While the company has not publicly clarified its position, it appears to be choosing to sit out the contentious issue surrounding the ownership of AI images. This decision may be influenced by ongoing lawsuits involving artists and companies that have used AI image generators without permission or compensation.
