D&D issues updated statement following debunked AI rumors Wizards of the CoastDungeons & Dragons has doubled down on its artificial intelligence stance following disproven allegations that art used to promote the upcoming rules refresh was made with AI. Dungeons & Dragons has released an updated statement on AI. This comes after fans voiced concerns that artwork used to promote the upcoming rules revision was made using AI, prompting a response from the D&D team. It also follows an AI art controversy earlier this year that forced Wizards of the Coast to rework one of its 2023 releases, Bigby Presents: Glory of the Giants, just ahead of the book\u2019s launch. Wizards of the Coast reiterates AI ban for artists & writers making D&D products In Wizards of the Coast\u2019s revised statement, the company says \u201cOur internal guidelines remain the same with regards to artificial intelligence tools: We require artists, writers, and creatives contributing to the D&D TTRPG to refrain from using AI generative tools to create final D&D products.\u201d The revised statement comes a day after Wizards responded to allegations that artwork of a dwarf fighter revealed during PAX Unplugged earlier this month was made or enhanced with AI. In addition to Wizards\u2019 denial, the artist who created the work in question debunked the claims. Responding to questions from ComicBook.com\u2019s Christian Hoffer, artist Nestor Ossand\u00f3n denied using AI and even shared sketches and drafts made while creating the artwork. Ossand\u00f3n\u2019s process pieces make it pretty clear he made the art himself, but concerns over AI art and its usage in gaming linger. This particular controversy mixes anger over AI art with the challenge of telling whether a particular piece is human or AI-made. It\u2019s all made even more difficult by the fact that AI art detectors are often wrong \u2013 in a since-deleted post, one of those who originally questioned the artwork ran it through a tester that mistakenly determined it was AI. All of this is also happening in the shadow of major layoffs at Wizards of the Coast\u2019s parent company Hasbro last week. These heavily impacted the D&D team, including artists, leading more to suspect Wizards is using AI to cut costs.
