WHAT DOES THE GAMES INDUSTRY REALLY THINK ABOUT AI…?
Boss Lady
- Meet the team
Games studios have long been utilising AI, with the technology having revolutionised– positively – areas from NPC behaviour to game analytics. But what do game devs think about how AI may impact their careers going forward?
We asked just that –and over 160 of you responded to highlight your thoughts on what AI could mean for both their jobs and future creativity.
It's worth highlighting that respondents could only pick one overriding thought about the impact of AI – and the majority, at 47%, feel it might lead to job losses. Only 2% believe that it could alleviate some of the talent and skills shortages we’re witnessing in the industry.
When it comes to AI’s impact on creativity, 34% think that it could increase innovation, presumably as it would allow studios to use AI to manage more ‘menial' tasks, allowing coders and designers to concentrate more on the creative process.
Some 17%, however, feel that AI may replace human creativity – something that has concerned many in Hollywood, where the production of TV shows and movies was severely impacted by a strike by the Writers Guild of America last year. If you’re interested in finding out more about what Hollywood thinks about AI’s impact on film, TV and games, here’s a great piece from The Hollywood Reporter published earlier this year.
And if you’d like to know what ChatGPT thinks will happen to game development roles with the increase of AI being used in the sector, read on:
'AI will significantly reshape video game development jobs. Routine tasks like bug detection and asset creation will be automated, allowing developers to focus on creativity and innovation. Designers will harness AI to generate vast, dynamic game worlds and personalised experiences. AI will optimise game mechanics and improve player engagement through data analysis. However, these advancements may reduce the demand for some technical roles while increasing the need for specialists in AI-driven tools. This transition will create a dynamic job market where adaptability and a blend of creative and technical skills will be crucial for future game developers.'
What do you think? We’d love to hear your thoughts!
