What should I watch out for with AI in game development?

Check per subscription what happens to your assets and prompts. Meshy and Convai may use your input and output to improve or train their services on standard plans (with Meshy you can opt out via support), Scenario does this on self-serve plans too and only contractually excludes it on Enterprise, and Ludo.ai reserves the right to train in its terms. On the free plan of Meshy, Meshy owns the output (use under CC BY 4.0 with attribution). Kaedim says it does not use your IP for training and is ISO 27001-certified, Cascadeur runs the AI tools locally and does not collect your animations as training data, and with Unity, training on your content is off by default. Most generative services store data in the US. Only put unreleased art, scripts or player data into a tool once a data processing agreement is in place, and for AI NPCs, check what the model might say to underage players.

Do not enter unnecessary personal data into prompts; anonymise where possible.
Enable EU data residency where the provider offers it.

18 September 2026Plugin4Shell: Google does not patch Gemini CLI and writes off the product

When Plugin4Shell was published on 18 September 2026, it emerged that Google had chosen not to fix the vulnerability in Gemini CLI. On 4 August 2026, Google announced that Gemini CLI is being discontinued and referred users to Antigravity. The result: any remaining Gemini CLI installation with plugins stays permanently vulnerable to zero-click code execution via a modified plugin repository. GDPR relevance: no update-based mitigation is available, so the only defensible measure is to migrate or remove the tool from machines holding personal data, source code or credentials (art. 32 GDPR). This concerns only the CLI tool, not the Gemini API or Gemini in Google Workspace. source
