At the crossroads of innovation and regulation: legalimplications of using AI in game development.

As game development increasingly incorporates artificial intelligence (AI) into its creative and production processes, novel legal challenges emerge.From generative AI tools that produce game assets to adaptive systems responding dynamically to player behavior, the promises of enhanced creativity, efficiency, and personalized experiences come entangled with complex regulatory questions.This extended abstract outlines a series of legal aspects at the intersection of AI and game development, illuminating key areas where established doctrines and frameworksrooted in human authorship, stable production roles, and traditional notions of liability-may fail to provide clear guidance.This paper places particular emphasis on the implications of artificial intelligence for intellectual property (IP) law, where foundational concepts of authorship and ownership are being tested by AI-generated content.
