What the sources say
Development workflow
During development of the 2024 DLC 'The Machine Age', the Stellaris team used text- and image-generative AI tools for ideation and to help explain designers’ intent to other developers (AI outputs used for internal ideation, not necessarily shipped verbatim). [1]
Content made before release
Paradox stated they used AI-generated voices and/or AI voice tooling as part of The Machine Age work and said voice models built from consenting voice actors receive royalties for lines created (i.e., pre-generated player-facing voiced lines in that DLC were produced with AI voice tooling). [2]
