Epic Games CEO blasts Steam's AI disclosure policy as 'irresponsible'

By PulseAugur Editorial · [3 sources] ·

Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney has criticized Valve's policy of requiring game developers to disclose the use of AI in their products on Steam. Sweeney argues that AI tools are primarily for productivity and that penalizing games with AI disclosures is irresponsible, making it harder for developers to succeed. He believes that AI should be viewed as a tool to streamline repetitive tasks, and that the industry is moving towards more ethical data practices. Data suggests that games with AI disclosures receive significantly fewer reviews and are more likely to receive negative feedback, though other factors like a lack of creativity could also contribute to poor reception.
