Call Of Duty's generative AI disclosure reveals a glaring issue with Steam's policies
1 min read
Summary
A recent disclosure on the Call Of Duty Steam page stated that the team uses “generative AI tools to help develop some in-game assets”.
Community speculation and reports alleged the use of AI in cosmetic design.
While the disclosure is barely sufficient, the ambiguity of the language used is notably misleading and ineffective.
Valve’s disclosure form, which allows publishers to disclose AI implementation in development, presents an overwhelming focus on the details of ‘live-generated’ content.
The form asks publishers to describe their use of AI tools in detail, but the information provided to consumers is sparse.
Players are then left to contend with the constant paranoia of not knowing what is or isn’t created by another person.
Furthermore, Valve’s disclosure policy seems to be centred around covering their own legal bases, rather than keeping players adequately informed.
