In March 2026, Wizards of the Coast announced a pilot program using AI to monitor voice conversations during online Magic: The Gathering games played through its SpellTable platform. The AI flags potentially harmful speech for a human moderator to review — humans make all final decisions.
Details
Announced March 16, 2026, the pilot uses GGWP — an AI moderation company that also works with Sony and Unity — to scan voice chat during SpellTable matches and surface content that may violate community guidelines. WotC described the tool as helping moderators "sift through more data than our humans could reasonably process without help." Human moderators retain final decision-making authority. This is WotC's first publicly confirmed consumer-facing AI moderation deployment. SpellTable is a browser-based platform that lets Magic: The Gathering players use their physical card collections to play games remotely via webcam.
