General AI Crap

Video game lawyer Haley MacLean, a corporate IP lawyer and head of the video game practice at Voyer Law, says anti-AI clauses have become increasingly common in game development and publishing contracts.

Speaking with GamesRadar+, MacLean revealed that nearly all of her indie-to-AA studio clients now include terms restricting or completely banning generative AI use in game creation.

She explained that developers are avoiding AI because of two major concerns: gamer backlash and uncertain copyright ownership issues. MacLean believes AI-generated assets could expose studios to lawsuits if those assets were trained on copyrighted material or cannot legally be protected.

She warned that as companies try to cut costs by using AI, legal disputes over ownership and copyright infringement could become more common in the gaming industry.
