A poll conducted by Google Cloud showed that 87 percent of video game developers use artificial intelligence agents to automatically simplify tasks, at a time when the industry focuses on reducing costs after an unprecedented wave of employee layoffs.
Most of the newly published poll participants said that artificial intelligence helps in dealing automatically with exhausting and repeated tasks, allowing developers to focus on the creative aspects.
Games developers resorted to artificial intelligence to deal with the challenges facing the entire industry, which is the great rise in development costs and lengthy creativity courses, in light of great expectations from the public and intense competition.
The study by Google and the Harris Ball Foundation included 615 games developer in the United States, South Korea, Norway, Finland and Sweden in late June and early July.
The study showed that about 44 percent of the developers use agents to improve content and process information such as texts, sound, symbols, sound and video quickly, giving them more independence in decision -making.
But the use of artificial intelligence in video games remains a largely controversial topic, as many in this industry are concerned about the possibility of loss of jobs and conflicts related to intellectual property and low wages.
According to the survey, 94 percent of developers expect artificial intelligence to reduce the total development costs in the long run. This is although almost every four developers find it difficult to measure the investment return from artificial intelligence applications accurately, as well as the costs of combining this technology are still high.
About 63 percent of those surveyed expressed their concerns about data ownership, in light of the legal ambiguity surrounding the license and the use of content produced by artificial intelligence and the determination of the owner.
