What the developer says
In Ashes of Mankind, we utilize AI-generated voiceovers to bring life to key in-game characters, such as GRIM and E.M.A. These entities serve as guides and narrators within the battlefield, known as The Citadel. Their unique personalities and lore were crafted by our team, with their voices pre-rendered using AI during development. Importantly, this use of AI is not generated live during gameplay, and there is no intention to impersonate real individuals or infringe upon existing copyrights. These AI-generated voices are carefully designed to enhance immersion while respecting all applicable guidelines. We remain committed to creating an engaging and authentic experience while ensuring transparency and compliance with Steam's policies.

| Steam disclosure | AI content disclosed |
| AI judgment deepseek-flash | AI-assisted · AI scope: parts · effort risk: lowReasoningThe disclosure states AI voices ship for named in-game characters, so some in-game audio is AI-generated. Writing and lore were crafted by the team, and the game is not yet released with no volume-release pattern. This points to limited AI use within a human-developed game. Against: Only voiceover is disclosed as AI; art, writing and design appear human-made, and the studio has no recent release cadence suggesting mass production. |
