\n

The PC gaming mods repository Nexus Mods is making disclosures about AI mandatory for uploads of new mods, meaning that mod authors will have to declare \u201cwhether AI has been used in their work,\u201d the site announced today<\/a> as part of a big post about AI-generated content on the platform.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cOne of the most consistent concerns we\u2019ve heard is that it\u2019s not clearly disclosed when AI has been used to create a mod,\u201d according to the post from site owner Victor \u201cFoledinho\u201d Folmann. \u201cWe already have tags for AI-generated and AI-assisted mods, but we recognise that there\u2019s a lot more we can do to make that information more accessible and clear for you all.\u201d Any mods tagged as \u201cAI-assisted\u201d will also be required to include \u201ca public explanation of how and where AI was used.\u201d AI tags will also be \u201cmore prominent\u201d on mod pages.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Folmann says Nexus Mods is \u201cpro-human creativity\u201d but \u201cwon\u2019t introduce an outright ban on AI-generated mods.\u201d As for why that is:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

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. An outright ban will not eliminate AI from the modding process but will prevent people from mentioning its use. We\u2019d 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.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Folmann notes that Nexus Mods won\u2019t use mods to train AI and \u201cwill not sell or license them to anyone doing so.\u201d However, the site is working on \u201cclearer control\u201d over how mods can be reused on others and strengthening attribution for when \u201ca mod uses another Mod Author\u2019s mod with the appropriate permissions.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Nexus Mods is also making changes to the Recently Added section of the site to address a problem of mod authors uploading many mods at once, which makes other mods fall down down the page. \u201cThis is less of an issue related to AI, but it\u2019s becoming much more prevalent as mod production is speeding up,\u201d Folmann says. The changes include trying limits on how many mods from one author are shown at a time and \u201ctighter restrictions\u201d on uploads from new accounts. The platform is also launching controls to hide AI-generated content in game pages and on the homepage, and \u201cnext up,\u201d in search.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Nexus Mods\u2019 full AI policy is here<\/a>, and mod authors have 60 days to update their existing mods to meet the requirements. The 60-day grace period ends on January 2nd, and after that time, the site will begin enforcing the rules.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
