Pirat_Nation 🔴(@Pirat_Nation):A video game lawyer says anti-AI clauses are becoming standard in game development contracts. Haley MacLean, a lawyer who works with indie and AA studios, says almost all her clients now have contracts that restrict or ban generative AI. The change has happened quickly over the past year, as devs and publishers add these clauses to avoid legal risks and because many gamers hate AI-generated content. AI-created assets can be hard to prove ownership of, and if based on copyrighted material they risk infringement claims. She expects lawsuits over AI-generated game assets in coming years as companies use AI more to cut costs.
