The biggest modding site in PC gaming is taking a stance on AI

PC 游戏界最大的模组网站正在对人工智能采取立场。

Nexus Mods says that authors of newly uploaded mods will have to declare whether AI was ‘used in their work.’

Nexus Mods 表示，新上传模组的作者必须声明其“作品中是否使用了人工智能”。

The PC gaming mods repository Nexus Mods is making disclosures about AI mandatory for uploads of new mods, meaning that mod authors will have to declare “whether AI has been used in their work,” the site announced today as part of a big post about AI-generated content on the platform.

PC 游戏模组库 Nexus Mods 现已强制要求在上传新模组时披露人工智能的使用情况。该网站在今天发布的一篇关于平台 AI 生成内容的公告中宣布，模组作者必须声明“其作品中是否使用了人工智能”。

“One of the most consistent concerns we’ve heard is that it’s not clearly disclosed when AI has been used to create a mod,” according to the post from site owner Victor “Foledinho” Folmann. “We already have tags for AI-generated and AI-assisted mods, but we recognise that there’s a lot more we can do to make that information more accessible and clear for you all.” Any mods tagged as “AI-assisted” will also be required to include “a public explanation of how and where AI was used.” AI tags will also be “more prominent” on mod pages.

网站所有者 Victor “Foledinho” Folmann 在文中写道：“我们听到最一致的担忧之一是，在模组创作中使用人工智能时，披露并不明确。我们虽然已经为 AI 生成和 AI 辅助的模组设置了标签，但我们意识到，在让这些信息对大家更易获取和更清晰方面，我们还可以做得更多。”任何被标记为“AI 辅助”的模组，还必须包含“关于 AI 如何使用以及在何处使用的公开说明”。AI 标签在模组页面上也将变得“更加醒目”。

Folmann says Nexus Mods is “pro-human creativity” but “won’t introduce an outright ban on AI-generated mods.” As for why that is: The answer is simple: AI is currently used throughout the whole process of creation, from script autocompletion to generation of textures, voices, and full assets, and it is difficult to draw a clear boundary between what is acceptable and unacceptable. An outright ban will not eliminate AI from the modding process but will prevent people from mentioning its use. We’d prefer the opposite; it should be out in the open, clearly labelled, and regulated according to the rules that we can implement on our platform.

Folmann 表示，Nexus Mods “支持人类创造力”，但“不会全面禁止 AI 生成的模组”。至于原因，答案很简单：人工智能目前被用于整个创作过程，从脚本自动补全到纹理、语音和完整资产的生成，很难在可接受和不可接受之间划定明确的界限。全面禁止并不能将人工智能从模组制作过程中剔除，反而会阻止人们提及它的使用。我们更倾向于相反的做法；它应该公开透明、标注清晰，并根据我们能在平台上实施的规则进行监管。

Folmann notes that Nexus Mods won’t use mods to train AI and “will not sell or license them to anyone doing so.” However, the site is working on “clearer control” over how mods can be reused on others and strengthening attribution for when “a mod uses another Mod Author’s mod with the appropriate permissions.”

Folmann 指出，Nexus Mods 不会使用模组来训练人工智能，也“不会将其出售或授权给任何这样做的人”。不过，该网站正在致力于对模组如何被他人重复使用进行“更明确的控制”，并加强在“模组在获得适当许可的情况下使用另一位模组作者的作品”时的归属说明。

Nexus Mods is also making changes to the Recently Added section of the site to address a problem of mod authors uploading many mods at once, which makes other mods fall down down the page. “This is less of an issue related to AI, but it’s becoming much more prevalent as mod production is speeding up,” Folmann says. The changes include trying limits on how many mods from one author are shown at a time and “tighter restrictions” on uploads from new accounts. The platform is also launching controls to hide AI-generated content in game pages and on the homepage, and “next up,” in search.

Nexus Mods 还对网站的“最近添加”部分进行了调整，以解决模组作者一次性上传大量模组导致其他模组在页面上被挤下去的问题。Folmann 说：“这与人工智能的关系较小，但随着模组生产速度的加快，这种情况正变得越来越普遍。”这些调整包括尝试限制同一作者同时显示的模组数量，以及对新账户的上传实施“更严格的限制”。该平台还推出了相关控制功能，以在游戏页面和主页上隐藏 AI 生成的内容，并计划“下一步”在搜索结果中也实现此功能。

Nexus Mods’ full AI policy is here, and mod authors have 60 days to update their existing mods to meet the requirements. The 60-day grace period ends on January 2nd, and after that time, the site will begin enforcing the rules.

Nexus Mods 的完整 AI 政策已发布，模组作者有 60 天的时间来更新其现有模组以符合要求。60 天的宽限期将于 1 月 2 日结束，此后该网站将开始执行这些规则。
