The artificial intelligence controversy continues, meanwhile, Nintendo does not want to use generative AI in its developments
For some time now, artificial intelligence has been gaining more and more prominence in the world of video games. As expected, many companies are already using it for different purposes, for example, Microsoft is working on a virtual assistant to consult user support queries. However, there is one type of AI that is not very popular, and It is the generativeAsked whether Nintendo will use this type of intelligence in its games, Furukawa's answer was clear: no.
Generative AI is surrounded by controversy because it often takes advantage of other artists' designs to express its ideas. Of course, all this It happens without any consentso intellectual property could be affected, something that Nintendo does not want under any circumstances. However, not all companies think the same as the big N, without going any further, Square Enix stated that they would introduce AI in their games much more aggressively. Of course, it seems that this technology is here to stay.
Nintendo disavows generative AI
Logically, the use of artificial intelligence It has been used for many years in video games, such as planning the movement of AI-controlled characters. However, according to a Q&A published by Nintendo, they will continue to use this technology in the normal way, as it has always been used in the industry. They will not use generative technology to create new things. Below are Furukawa's words.
AI-like technologies have been used in the gaming industry for a long time (for example, to control the movements of opposing characters), so I think game development and AI technology have always had a close relationship. Generative AI, which is becoming a big topic lately, can be used creatively, but we recognize that it can also raise issues with intellectual property. We have decades of experience in how to create the best gaming experiences for our users and AI cannot do that.
As you can see, the work and experience that Nintendo brings to this world seems to be something that cannot be generated with artificial intelligence. And it's no wonder, since if there's one thing this company has proven, it's that it knows how to develop products that manage to entertain millions of people. Its games are among the most loved and best-rated on the market, so it's no surprise that they continue with the current strategy of working hard to offer the best experience to players.
