IGSA Unveils Ethical AI Guidelines for Gaming

Published Date : 29/07/2025 

The International Gaming Standards Association (IGSA) has unveiled its first set of best practices for the ethical use of artificial intelligence (AI) in the gaming industry, aiming to provide a framework for regulators and industry stakeholders. 

The International Gaming Standards Association (IGSA) announced on Monday the release of “Ethical Use of Artificial Intelligence,” the first in a series of best practices documents designed to guide the ethical use of AI in the gaming industry.

The EAI (Ethical Artificial Intelligence) Committee, led by Richard Bayliss, has completed work on this groundbreaking document. According to IGSA President Mark Pace, “The EAI is also the first of our non-technical committees to release such a document. The nine best practices for the ethical use of AI in the gaming industry were developed with input from the IGSA Regulatory Committee, which is composed exclusively of representatives from regulatory authorities.”

The document aims to provide a framework to help regulators oversee the use of AI in the gaming industry. “These best practices will help ensure that AI is used responsibly and ethically, protecting both players and the integrity of the industry,” Pace added. The membership of the IGSA recently voted to approve the document, reflecting a collective commitment to ethical standards.

Nimish Purohit, IGSA Chairman and former Chair of the EAI committee, expressed his gratitude to the committee members. “Our committee members have been putting in the time for the meetings and new members are joining IGSA to contribute. This is the first in a series of new best practices from IGSA, and we’ll be releasing them from our other committees as well. These documents will be considered ‘living documents,’ and we will add to them as the committees continue to create work output.”

The public can access the new best practices document on IGSA’s website at https://igsa.org/best-practices. The document will serve as a valuable resource for regulators, developers, and other stakeholders in the gaming industry, ensuring that AI is used in a way that benefits all parties involved.

The release of these best practices marks a significant step forward in the regulation and ethical use of AI in the gaming industry. As technology continues to evolve, the IGSA’s commitment to ethical standards will play a crucial role in shaping the future of gaming.
