On itch.io, AI disclosure is a “Generative AI disclosure” field on each project's edit page: answer yes or no, then tick Graphics, Sound, Text & Dialog, or Code. itch.io adds the AI Generated tag and sub-tags, or No AI, for you. It is mandatory for asset pages, and untagged AI assets lose browse indexing. For games it is encouraged. leafo counts AI-written code (Copilot included) as generative AI, while Steam's Content Survey focuses on player-facing content and splits it into Pre-Generated and Live-Generated.
itch.io asks about generative AI on each project's edit page, and the stakes differ for asset packs and games. This guide quotes itch.io's quality guidelines and leafo's announcement thread for the form, the tags, and the asset rule, then lines it up against Steam's Content Survey.
Not tested hands-on. Research-based and untested: we have not filled in itch.io's disclosure form or published a page to see how the tags behave. Everything below is built from verbatim quotes we copied on 2026-10-27 from itch.io's creator quality guidelines, its tag and browse pages, and leafo's (itch.io's founder) announcement thread and replies, plus Steamworks' Content Survey page. leafo's thread replies are his answers to questions, not formal policy, and we say so where we rely on them. Our daily job re-checks that each quote is still on its page. Which disclosure box a tool's output falls under is our reading. Not legal advice.

The form lives on each project's edit page. These are the fields and tags as leafo, itch.io's founder, described them when it launched on Nov 20, 2024, and as itch.io's browse pages show them now.
The field is called “Generative AI disclosure” and asks whether your project contains the results of generative AI. If you answer yes, it asks which kinds: Graphics, Sound, Text & Dialog, and Code.

No AI only goes on pages whose creator answered no. Pages that never filled in the form get neither tag, so a missing AI tag does not mean a page is AI-free. In a 2026 reply, leafo pointed a user who wanted to hide AI games to the No AI tag page, because excluding the AI Assisted label in a search URL does nothing.
The no-ai was created for convenience, as it is not a strict negative of ai-generated . The no-ai tag is only applied to pages where the creator explicitly marked their page as not containing generative AI. Pages that haven’t completed the tagging will not receive this tag.Verified · fetched 2026-10-27 · itch.io/post/11415296

itch.io's guideline definition, plus leafo's answers on the edge cases developers asked about most.
The guidelines define generative AI as systems that create new content by learning from large datasets, naming ChatGPT, DALL-E, Midjourney, and Stable Diffusion.
Generative AI refers to artificial intelligence systems that create new content (text, images, music) by learning from large datasets. This includes large language models like ChatGPT and image generation models like DALL-E, Midjourney, and Stable Diffusion that create new outputs based on training data.Verified · fetched 2026-10-27 · itch.io/docs/creators/quality-guidelines
Self-contained algorithms without external large datasets don't need the tags. The guidelines list NPC pathfinding, enemy behavior, procedural level generation, fuzzy logic, dynamic difficulty, and dynamic music.
Projects using self-contained algorithms without external large datasets don’t require the use of generative AI tags. For example, traditional game AI like NPC pathfinding, enemy behavior patterns, procedural level generation, fuzzy logic systems, and dynamic difficulty adjustment, dynamic music, etc. are not considered generative AI and don’t need tagging.Verified · fetched 2026-10-27 · itch.io/docs/creators/quality-guidelines
leafo: asking ChatGPT something only to inform yourself means your project doesn't contain generative AI content, but pasting code it generated into the project does. He applies the same reasoning to any code synthesized by an LLM, and says GitHub Copilot being ubiquitous doesn't change that. This is his answer in the thread, not a line in the guidelines.
If you asked ChatGPT a question about something solely to inform yourself, then it sounds like your project doesn’t contain content from generative AI.

Separately from tagging, the guidelines say not to mass-produce product pages with automated systems and name projects predominantly created by AI with minimal human intervention. If AI generation is central to the project, the guidelines ask you to say so in the description.

A Copilot-only game may have nothing to declare on Steam and still tick Code on itch.io.
