Back-2-Back: How Game Dev is Being Rewritten by AI. With Tiago Correia & Gordon Midwood

Ai

AI is revolutionizing game development, enabling the creation of animated 3D objects, rapid prototyping, and lowering the barriers to entry for creators, but also raises concerns around ethics and safety.

Key takeaways
  • AI is rewriting the game development industry, enabling the creation of animated behaviors in 3D objects.
  • Machine learning models can generate 3D models from a single image or prompt, and can even train on data to improve quality.
  • The use of natural language processing (NLP) and LLMs (large language models) is allowing for rapid prototyping and creation of game mechanics.
  • The barriers to entry for game development are being lowered, allowing more people to create games and interactive experiences.
  • Some speakers are excited about the potential for game developers to use AI to create more interactive and engaging experiences.
  • Safety and ethics are concerns in the use of AI in game development, with some speakers advocating for the need for safeguards and moderation.
  • The potential for AI to be used to create more realistic and detailed 3D graphics is highlighted, with speakers mentioning examples such as NERFs and text animation.
  • The speakers are generally excited about the possibilities offered by the use of AI in game development, but also acknowledge the need for careful consideration of ethics and safety.
