The clause establishes a contractual restriction on a specific downstream use of licensed content, preventing integration of game code or materials into AI model training pipelines. This limitation applies regardless of whether the AI system learns from direct input or from prompt-based interactions.
Developers, researchers, or creators who capture or extract content from Epic games cannot legally use that material to train AI models, even for personal or non-commercial projects; violation of this term could result in account suspension.
