Wizards of the Coast Bans AI Tools in 'Magic: The Gathering' and 'Dungeons & Dragons'

The decision follows accusations of AI use in artwork and major layoffs at parent company Hasbro.

Wizards of the Coast has officially banned the use of artificial intelligence tools in the creation of final products for its 'Magic: The Gathering' and 'Dungeons & Dragons' franchises.
The ban comes after accusations that the company used AI to create images for the new 'Tomb Raider Secret Lair' card game set and 'Bigby Presents: Glory of the Giants' book.
Artists, writers, and creatives contributing to both franchises are required to refrain from using AI generative tools.
The company faced backlash earlier this year when it was discovered that an artist used generative AI to create images for an upcoming book.
The ban announcement follows major layoffs at Wizard’s parent company Hasbro, leading to speculation that the company might be using AI to cut costs.
