What it is

You are not allowed to use any code or content taken from Epic's games to train AI tools or use it as input for AI systems that learn from what you give them, though some narrow uses like image upscaling or content tagging are permitted.

This analysis describes what Epic Games's agreement states, permits, or reserves. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Regulatory applicability and practical outcomes may vary by jurisdiction, enforcement context, and individual circumstances. Read our methodology

ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

This clause is operationally significant for developers, content creators, and researchers who might otherwise use game footage, assets, or extracted code as inputs for machine learning or AI generation tools, creating legal risk for such uses even where they might otherwise seem permissible.

Interpretive note: The scope of the prohibition, particularly the phrase 'prompt-based input where the Generative AI Program trains on input data,' may be interpreted differently depending on the technical architecture of the AI system involved, creating application uncertainty for edge cases.

"
Use code or content extracted from the Licensed Products as training input for any Generative AI Program or as prompt-based input where the Generative AI Program trains on input data. "Generative AI Program" means artificial intelligence, machine learning, deep learning, neural networks, or similar technologies designed to automate the generation of or aid in the creation of new content, including but not limited to audio, visual, or text-based content. Programs do not meet this definition of Generative AI Programs where they, by non-limiting example, (a) solely operate on the original content (such as image upscaling); (b) generate tags to classify visual input content; or (c) generate instructions to arrange existing content, without creating new content.
