## Key points

- Nexus Mods introduces more detailed labels for generative-AI use.
- Users can better filter AI-related mods and media.
- AI content remains allowed, with disclosure largely dependent on uploaders.

## Summary

Nexus Mods has revised how it labels generative-AI use in uploaded mods, replacing its broad AI-generated-content tag with more specific categories. The change should help users distinguish between AI used in a mod’s downloadable material, its promotional media, or as assistance during development, but the platform still permits AI-assisted uploads rather than banning them.

Mods using AI-generated assets or voice synthesis must be labelled accordingly, while AI-made thumbnails and other page media can receive a separate label. An “AI assisted” category covers limited development use under defined rules, and users can filter tagged AI content; however, the system relies substantially on creators applying the tags accurately, leaving concerns about unlabelled material.
