SigninG a Publishing Contract

4D. Use of generative AI

Both designers and publishers will have varying opinions about whether AI should be used to generate content for games. If you want to explicitly state that your publisher should not use AI, you could add a clause like this:

PUBLISHER agrees not to use AI-generated text, images, artwork, design, or other visual elements for any part of GAME without DESIGNER’s prior express approval. For purposes of clarification, a human artist may use artificial intelligence technologies as a tool to assist in the creation of artwork for GAME, provided that the human artist has control over the final artwork and the artwork substantially comprises human creation.


DESIGNER shall disclose to PUBLISHER if any AI-generated text or images are included in the submitted game.
