PlayStation's boss says artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to "revolutionise" gaming, but he believes it will never replace the "human touch" of games made by people.

Game developers have been hit by slowing demand after the pandemic - but some are also concerned about the impact of AI on jobs.

Advances in the technology have the potential to allow many of the mundane parts of game development to become automated.

But it has also caused deep unease that AI systems will also take over the creative process, with voice actors in the US striking over fears the tech could be used to replace them.

Mr Hulst acknowledged AI was changing gaming - but said there would always be a future for human developers.

"I suspect there will be a dual demand in gaming: one for AI-driven innovative experiences and another for handcrafted, thoughtful content," he told the BBC.

"Striking the right balance between leveraging AI and preserving the human touch will be crucial."

I don´t like him.

The translation from CEO to English is: "Less people with more AI, not just AI alone... yet."

That's what we're in all headed for.

Basically. But they all feel this way. A.I. isn't going away. Yet, it also can't make games, so people are needed.

He forgot to “for now”.

AI will 100% be used is some form to create games.

5 years or more development time is unrealistic.

since hermen is boss, someone should ask him how he is handling the current PSSR situation for third party games.

 

[Aces High]

Well of course he's gonna say that.

Mr. 'Let’s dump half a billion into Concord' has 12,000 employees to keep motivated.

PSSR is actually a tiny person inside redrawing images to look 4K.

AI will 100% be making games in the future and thinking they won't, requires a deep level delusion.

Third parties didn't get the memo. It was simply a marketing term, it was not supposed to be used.

Ai can't make another the last of us, AI is not there yet.
