The Witcher and Cyberpunk developer CD Projekt Red is the latest company to sound off on the use of AI in gaming. During CD Projekt Red’s latest earnings briefing, Joint CEO MichaÅ‚ Nowakowski said there are “meaningful” and “real” benefits to using the technology.
The company is already implementing such technologies “mainly in the productivity areas” and so far that’s where the “largest benefits” have stemmed from, he explained, as reported by GamesRadar. A developer won’t be able to use AI to make an entire game, though, and humans will remain essential to the process, he said.
“The benefits are real, they’re meaningful; but it’s not a situation–and I’m unaware of such a situation–where AI could ‘sit down and make games.’ That’s our take. It doesn’t mean it’s not gonna be useful, but it’s not gonna be making The Witcher 5, or 6, or anything like that,” Nowakowski explained.
