"It is important to me that my games are AI-free, and if the engine I use includes AI code, the end product includes AI code."
Then, make sure the operating system you develop your games on is also AI-free. So run Linux ! :-)
Systemd has a permissive AI policy, so be sure to run one of the systemd-free distributions.
(Disclaimer: this one’s on my to-do list, but right now I’m running Linux Mint (which uses systemd) on my primary machine.)
