Ukie and Sheridans Launch AI Certification Mark for UK Game Studios
Ukie is formalizing AI governance into a document studios can show investors and partners, which turns compliance from an internal policy into a business credential at exactly the moments money changes hands.
Reporting from 1 source: GameBusiness.jp.
Ukie, the UK games industry body, has announced an AI Compliance and Accreditation Service developed with law firm Sheridans. Studios answer a confidential questionnaire on their AI use, get an initial risk assessment, have a bespoke AI policy written or reviewed, and then receive the AI Certification Mark. Ukie says the mark can be used in pitches, fundraising and due diligence.
The mark is not handed out on a template. Sheridans writes or reviews an AI usage policy based on the tools and practices a studio actually uses, then the studio receives the certification. Ukie lists its intended uses as project pitches, fundraising rounds and due diligence, the pre-transaction checks that accompany acquisitions or investments. The questionnaire that starts the process is not public.
