While the Game License & Upload Agreement does not require developers to make a specific disclosure when AI tools are used during development, Kongregate does request that the player-facing game description includes a disclosure that AI has been used, and how it has been used. It helps us - Kongregate and developers - maintain transparency with players. Examples may include:
• noting that certain assets were generated with AI tools
• identifying AI-assisted creative workflows
• describing AI systems used for gameplay features
Developers should ensure that any disclosures are accurate and not misleading.
