Nexus Mods is not going to ban neural network content

However, the platform has still required mod authors to indicate whether AI was used in creating the content.

The Nexus Mods platform has updated its mod publishing guidelines, making the disclosure of generative artificial intelligence use mandatory. The administration decided against imposing a total ban on AI content, seeking to strike a compromise between proponents and opponents of the new technologies.

Mod authors will now be required to publicly explain how and at what stages of development they utilized artificial intelligence.

A 60-day grace period is provided for authors of previously published works. Once it concludes, the requirements will become strictly mandatory for everyone. Moderators will monitor compliance manually, and users are encouraged to report mods whose creators conceal the use of AI.

According to platform owner Foledinho, the use of generative neural networks can vary significantly: some authors use them to create virtually an entire modification, while others limit usage to individual elements or employ AI exclusively for coding.

Special tags already exist on the platform to indicate the extent of artificial intelligence involvement. They can now also be used to filter modifications directly on the main page, allowing users to hide unwanted content.
