Steam says no games containing AI generated content unless they can prove copyright

Valve has officially banned selling games on Steam that use AI-generated content, unless the developer can prove that the content generated didn't come from an AI model trained on data that doesn't "infringe on existing copyrights". Valve said that they do not want to "discourage the use of [AI-generated content] on Steam", but "our review process is a reflection of current copyright law and policies, not an added layer of our opinion. As these laws and policies evolve over time, so will our process". Makes sense as there's a huge grey area around these AI-systems sucking up data off the internet and using it without permission - just because something is public online, doesn't mean you have the right to do whatever you like with it.
