The biggest modding site in PC gaming is taking a stance on AI

The PC gaming mods repository Nexus Mods is making disclosures about AI mandatory for uploads of new mods, meaning that mod authors will have to declare “whether AI has been used in their work,” the site announced today as part of a big post about AI-generated content on the platform.

“One of the most consistent concerns we’ve heard is that it’s not clearly disclosed when AI has been used to create a mod,” according to the post from site owner Victor “Foledinho” Folmann. “We already have tags for AI-generated and AI-assisted mods, but we recognise that there’s a lot more we can do to make that information more accessible and clear for you all.” Any mods tagged as “AI-assisted” will also be required to include “a public explanation of how and where AI was used.” AI tags will also be “more prominent” on mod pages.
