Fortnite Adds AI IP Protection System to UEFN and Fab with Loci Integration
Epic Games has introduced a powerful AI-driven content protection system to help creators avoid unintentional copyright violations across its creative platforms — including Fortnite, Unreal Editor for Fortnite (UEFN), and the Fab marketplace.
The new system is powered by Loci, an advanced 3D asset recognition and tagging platform that uses AI and computer vision to detect potentially infringing content in real time.
🤖 What Is Loci and How Does It Work?
Loci is an AI-powered content tagging platform that uses computer vision models to scan, identify, and label 3D assets.
Here’s what the system enables:
-
🛡️ Detects potential copyright-infringing assets
-
⚙️ Automates asset tagging and moderation for creators
-
🔍 Improves discoverability of user-generated content
-
⏱️ Saves time by eliminating manual workflows
This allows creators in UEFN and Fab to remain compliant with IP standards without needing legal expertise, thanks to real-time content scanning and auto-tagging.
🎮 Why Epic Is Launching an AI Copyright System
Epic has faced ongoing challenges in Creative mode and UEFN, where user-generated maps have sometimes featured unauthorized references to Mario Kart, Shrek, and other franchises.
With copyright holders watching more closely, Epic Games is proactively addressing IP risk while empowering its creator community.
“3D is the next frontier of AI-powered creativity,” said Loci CEO Eugene Yi, noting the system makes 3D content “accessible, discoverable, and protected.”
Lucia Specia, Epic’s Director of Machine Learning Solutions, emphasized how this system will improve tools across Unreal Engine, Fab, and Epic’s wider platforms.
🌐 Where Is the AI IP Protection System Being Used?
The Loci-powered IP detection system will be implemented across:
-
🧱 Unreal Editor for Fortnite (UEFN)
-
🛍️ Fab Marketplace (Epic’s digital asset store)
-

This aligns with Epic’s long-term goal of providing a safe, scalable platform for user-generated content — and reducing legal liability for creators.
