AI in video game development isn't new, but generative AI is a fresh development and is already changing how studios are making games. This goes beyond simply creating 2D concept art from AI systems like Stable Diffusion and covers every aspect of game development and design.
While many game developers are cool on the idea of using AI commercially, and the indie developers we've spoken to aren't keen on AI until the ethical issues are ironed out (though many use AI Copilot to aid with coding), many studios are experimenting for internal use.
For a deeper context, GDC's 2024 State of the Industry survey revealed 49% of those who took part revealed AI tools were being used broadly by their studios, with 31% saying they were using AI directly. Even those 15% who said they have yet to use generative AI said they were interested. Only 23% said they wouldn't use AI tools at all.
