As AI-assisted development continues to accelerate in fan-driven dev communities, Nexus Mods has outlined an extensive new set of policies on mods created using AI. In short, the site will continue to accept AI mods, but it will soon require modders to disclose their usage of AI-generated content and will allow users to filter out that content entirely if they so choose.
"We are pro-human creativity," Nexus Mods co-owner Foledinho says in a bolded portion of the new announcement. However, the site "won't introduce an outright ban on AI-generated mods. You may ask me why, since that is not the solution some of you were looking for. The answer is simple: AI is currently used throughout the whole process of creation, from script autocompletion to generation of textures, voices, and full assets, and it is difficult to draw a clear boundary between what is acceptable and unacceptable."
Foledinho argues that "an outright ban will not eliminate AI from the modding process but will prevent people from mentioning its use. We'd prefer the opposite; it should be out in the open, clearly labelled, and regulated according to the rules that we can implement on our platform."
" An example screenshot suggests that modders will be able to declare whether their mod is primarily AI-generated, simply assisted by AI, or if it features AI-generated promotional material.
