Unity updated its Terms of Service on July 1, 2026 to clarify restrictions on AI and machine learning use of the platform. The updated terms now explicitly require prior authorization before training AI models on Unity data or using automated systems like scrapers, bots, or AI agents to interact with the platform. The terms also state that users remain responsible for any automated systems acting on their behalf, and breaches of these use restrictions may result in account suspension.
Developers and ai model developers: If you want to use Unity's platform or data to train AI models, you must ask Unity for permission in advance.
Developers and enterprise customers: You cannot use automated tools to extract data from Unity's platform without explicit authorization.
Developers and enterprise customers: If you want to use AI systems or automated agents to interact with Unity, you can only do so through systems that Unity has approved or is operating.
Consumers and business users: You are responsible for any automated systems or AI tools you authorize to act on your account, and you cannot shift that responsibility to Unity.
The updated terms establish explicit restrictions on how developers and organizations can use Unity's platform in connection with artificial intelligence and automated systems. Specifically, the terms now require prior written authorization from Unity before training machine learning or AI models on Unity data or any data derived from it. Additionally, the terms restrict automated access to the platform through scrapers, bots, AI agents, large language models, and similar systems unless they operate through a framework designated or operated by Unity. Users remain responsible for any automated systems acting on their behalf, and breaches of these restrictions may result in account suspension. You can request prior authorization from Unity for AI training use cases, and you may review the full updated terms to understand which automated frameworks are Unity-approved.
→ Review the updated Section 17.2 of Unity's Terms of Service to understand which uses require prior authorization.
→ If you plan to train AI models on Unity data, contact Unity to request prior written authorization before proceeding.
→ Audit any current or planned automated integrations to ensure they use only Unity-approved frameworks.
