Nexus Mods Forces Mandatory AI Disclosures and Filters, Explains Why It Won't Ban AI Mods
Nexus Mods has reacted to the deluge of AI mods by enforcing mandatory disclosure for mods with AI-assisted code, and letting users filter AI-assisted mods out of their search criteria or preferences.
Nexus Mods, the largest platform for video game mods, has implemented mandatory disclosure rules for mods that incorporate AI-assisted code. This move is aimed at increasing transparency and regulating the use of AI in mod creation. Victor Foledinho Folmann, co-owner of Nexus Mods, stated that the platform does not intend to outright ban AI mods, as it is difficult to define what constitutes acceptable or unacceptable use of AI.
Instead, Nexus Mods will require modders to label whether their mod is AI-assisted, primarily AI-generated, or features AI-generated promotional material. Additionally, mod pages must include a clear explanation of the AI usage. The platform will also offer a 60-day grace period for existing mods to comply with these new regulations.
