According to renowned developer and producer Peter Molyneux, AI will become a game-changing technology over the next 25 years. Molyneux, known for creating numerous gaming hits in the past, has a controversial recent history, with some criticizing him as a hype-driven digital conman.
Are you waiting for the AI bubble to burst so you can go back to enjoying art and entertainment products created by human beings who can actually make a living from it? You’d better get comfortable. According to Peter Molyneux, AI will soon become an even bigger asset for the video game industry than it is today.
In an interview with Eurogamer, Molyneux was asked to consider what the next 25 years will hold for the gaming industry. The British designer predicted that generative AI algorithms will eventually be used to create “huge parts” of games, including AI-generated characters, animations, dialogue, and essentially every other meaningful in-game asset.
