UK Games Expo bans AI-generated games and art at its event
The UK Games Expo (UKGE) announced a new AI policy prohibiting games and art created mostly with AI tools from its exhibition floor. Exhibitors must remove AI-generated products or risk booth closure and future bans. The policy allows only minor AI-assisted tasks like spell-checking or accessibility tools, citing support for human-created works in tabletop games, art, and books.

The move follows legal disputes over AI training data, including a $1.5 billion settlement between Anthropic and authors over alleged copyright violations. UKGE previously faced backlash for promoting an AI-built game and suppressing critical comments. The policy aligns with growing restrictions on AI-generated content in creative industries.
