Amazon Games boss Christoph Hartmann has said he believes the addition of AI to game development work flows won’t impact jobs, partly because “we don’t really have acting”.
Hartmann made the comments in a new interview with IGN, when he was asked about a major performers strike recently called by the SAG-AFTRA union, after it failed to negotiate acceptable protections around the use of AI for its members.
“I mean, I got to be careful what is here because we are a big company and have to deal with all those organizations, so I don’t really want to get in the middle of it,” he replied. “But when we talk about AI, first of all, hopefully it will help us to have new gameplay ideas, which has nothing to do with taking work away from anyone.
