Two prominent video game industry veterans have voiced their opinions on AI, with both people–Hideo Kojima and Glen Schofield–declaring that AI should not be feared but embraced.
Kojima, for his part, said AI is already used in a lot of creative work to “come up with ideas.” But Kojima himself sees AI “as more of a friend.” Kojima said he would use AI to “boost efficiency” but that he himself would continue to “lead the creative part” of game development.
“I’d like AI to handle the tedious tasks that would lower cost and cut down on time. It’s more like co-creating with AI instead of just using it,” he told Wired. “I see a future where I stay one step ahead; creating together with AI.”
