Nexus Mods implements mandatory AI disclosure policy

Nexus Mods, the largest PC modding platform, has announced new policies regarding the use of generative artificial intelligence. Rather than implementing an outright ban, the platform will require modders to disclose the extent of AI involvement in their work.

Starting with a grace period that ends on January 2, 2027, creators must declare whether a mod is primarily AI-generated, AI-assisted, or contains AI-generated promotional material. For AI-assisted projects, authors must also provide a public explanation detailing how and where the technology was utilized. To empower users, the platform is introducing search filters that allow individuals to exclude AI-generated content from their results.

Co-owner Victor ‘Foledinho’ Folmann stated that a ban would be counterproductive, noting that AI is already integrated into various stages of creation, such as code autocompletion and texture generation. He emphasized that the goal is transparency and regulation rather than elimination. Additionally, Nexus Mods has pledged that it will not use uploaded content to train AI models or sell licenses to third parties for such purposes.
