The four-step process culminates in an AI Certification Mark that can be displayed during pitches and funding rounds

UKIE has partnered with law firm Sheridans to provide an AI Compliance and Accreditation Service, enabling studios across the UK games industry to use AI lawfully and responsibly.

The AI Compliance and Accreditation Service includes a four-step process that culminates in the UKIE Certification Mark. This can be used to demonstrate compliance and due diligence in pitches and funding rounds.

UKIE CEO Nick Poole tells GamesIndustry.biz that the aim with this service is to "give games businesses a practical route through what is a fast moving and increasingly important area, while establishing a consistent standard that the wider industry can recognise."

"The vast majority of our members have told us they are experimenting with these tools in very different ways on a daily basis, but there is a common concern about understanding where the legal and commercial risks sit and being able to demonstrate that they have taken those risks seriously."

"Games businesses need something practical that looks at their own tools and working practices, helps them put the right processes in place and gives publishers, investors and other partners confidence that there is a considered approach behind their use of AI."

Sheridans partner Anna Poulter-Jones adds: "Given the near-constant shifting of laws and broader public policy around AI, it is sensible to keep a studio's policy under review."

"Part of the service includes a review of a studio's existing policy, for example for studios that already have a policy but want to make sure that it holds up in the current legal climate.
