Ouch ouch, AI: Valve has said yes to artificial intelligence, from now on games published on Steam will be able to use it (under one condition)
After many rumors covered over this week, from those on the Xbox Direct to the confirmation of the event (and then returning to speculate on the matter), here is one of the first official announcements of the last 96 hours regarding theIA: well yes, come on Steam i games created with artificial intelligence they will be admitted, word of Valve. Of course there’s a quibble: publication eligibility will require developers to be as transparent as possible on how they generated their assets. Specifically, the disclaimer must include the type of algorithm used: in other words, whether the game includes content automatically generated and exploited later during development, or whether some elements are instead expected to be created on the spot.

AI galore: Valve allows artificial intelligence in Steam games, but “only if”
The other condition set by Valve consists of failure to include illegal AI-generated or copyrighted content in games on Steam, and at that point if all the criteria are met the data on the use of artificial intelligence in the title will have to appear in the light of day in the marketplace. Gabe Newell’s house apologized for the late decision on using the controversial technology (where Microsoft has dived in with more enthusiasm), citing the need to experiment and research the risks of its implementation as the primary reason for the timing. There was no shortage of comments on the statement, and the same goes for the possibility of “other shovelware titles.” We will await further developments.
