Epic Games Removes Racist AI-Generated Images from Fortnite

According to Decrypt, Epic Games is taking action to remove racist AI-generated images uploaded by users to the popular battle royale game Fortnite. The game allows users to create their own maps and share playable experiences, which has led to the uploading of problematic content. Recently, island maps featuring crude AI-generated images perpetrating racist stereotypes were discovered. Epic Games has already removed many of the islands and taken action against the creators. The company stated that discriminatory content violates their island creator rules and users who violate these guidelines could face permanent bans. Epic Games is also working on updating its island creator rules and moderation training programs to minimize the number of violating maps that reach players.
