👨‍💻 Almost All Game Studios Use AI, But Are Afraid to Admit It

Almost all modern games already use neural networks in their development, although gamers probably don't notice it, says Jack Buser, head of gaming at Google Cloud. According to him, 9 out of 10 studios surveyed by the company admitted to using AI in their work.

However, large-scale industry research shows a much lower figure: between 40% and 50%. Buser explains that developers simply aren't ready to admit they use AI openly.

💰 Studios are practically forced to use AI to save costs. According to Buser, the cost of game development across the industry has almost doubled since 2017. AI models, while still a controversial technology, help with "heavy, repetitive, and low-value" work.
