Wizards of the Coast acknowledges AI-generated art in D&D book, updates policies
Dungeons & Dragons publisher Wizards of the Coast acknowledged that AI-generated artwork was included in its sourcebook 'Bigby Presents: Glory of the Giants', which released digitally on August 1, 2023. The artist, Ilya Shkipin, admitted using AI for 'polish and editing' after community members pointed out inconsistencies. Wizards stated they were unaware of the AI use and are revising artist guidelines to ban AI art going forward. The AI-generated images remain in the digital and physical editions of the book.
