A veteran high-ranking game developer has sounded off on the use of artificial intelligence systems in gaming, saying developers who fail to adopt the technology run the risk of selling themselves short. Speaking to IGN, former Sony Santa Monica director of product development Meghan Morgan Juinio said AI is a “tool” and “something that will augment” human creators, not replace them.
“At least for right now, that’s how I see it. It’s going to evolve whether you’re on board with it or not, so I want to be at the forefront of helping to guide how that goes and how we use it,” Juinio said.
She added: “I think if we don’t embrace it, I think we’re selling ourselves short.”
