Nexus Mods Will Require Disclosure of AI Use for New Mod Uploads
Nexus Mods will require mod authors to disclose AI use for new uploads, with a 60-day grace period for existing mods.
Key points
- Mods tagged AI-assisted must include a public explanation of how and where AI was used.
- Nexus Mods will not ban AI-generated mods outright and says it will not sell or license mods for AI training.
- Mod authors have 60 days to update existing mods, and the grace period ends January 2nd.
Why it matters. Players will see more prominent AI tags and can hide AI-generated content, since the site says labelling is preferable to a ban that would only stop people mentioning AI use.
The PC gaming mods repository Nexus Mods announced today that authors must declare whether AI was used. AI-assisted mods must also carry a public explanation of how and where AI was used. Site owner Victor "Foledinho" Folmann said the platform will not ban AI-generated mods outright. Authors have 60 days to update existing mods before enforcement begins January 2nd.
