- AI integration is growing in the games industry, and Ubisoft is interested in adopting the technology.
- A new job ad from the studio shows that it now asks for experience with generative AI agents like ChatGPT and Claude when hiring new developers.
- These requirements show in multiple job listings, suggesting a company-wide focus on generative AI agents.
AI integration is rapidly becoming a part of modern game development. Recently, games like Crimson Desert were found to include leftover AI-generated art from early stages of development, and this appears to be just the beginning of the AI revolution in the games industry.
Like other AAA giants, Ubisoft is backing the use of artificial intelligence to streamline game development. In fact, the Tech4Gamers team has spotted a Ubisoft job listing for a Technical Art Director, indicating that the studio is now seeking experience with generative AI models like ChatGPT when hiring developers.
Why it matters: Despite AI’s many benefits to game development, many still feel it should not be used to dilute the creative process of making games.
Ubisoft Annecy is currently hiring for an unannounced AAA project. According to the qualifications section of this listing, this project is a multiplayer title built on Unreal Engine 5.
Because previous rumors already pointed to Ubisoft working on a new live-service multiplayer shooter, there is reason to believe that the team is looking to hire a developer for the same project as part of its live-service ambitions.
Anyhow, later in the qualifications section, Ubisoft explicitly mentions generative AI models like Claude, ChatGPT, and Copilot. According to the job listing, the developer in question must be comfortable using these models for various tasks.

Based on this job ad, it’s hard to say exactly how Ubisoft plans to use tools like ChatGPT in game development.
However, because the team is specifically looking to hire a Technical Art Director, the AI use could involve generating concept art that is later replaced with hand-crafted assets, as was the case with Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 and Crimson Desert.
Elsewhere, another job listing for a Prompt Specialist highlights similar requirements, citing a good understanding of GPT-4, Gemini, Claude, etc. All in all, it seems knowledge of various AI models has become quite important to the French gaming giant lately.
You have a good understanding of several language models (GPT-4, Gemini, Claude, Qwne, SentenceBERT, Llama) as well as their main differences
Of course, given Ubisoft’s past initiatives, this doesn’t come as the biggest surprise. Previously, the French gaming giant showcased AI-enhanced NPCs in a playable research project dubbed Teammates as part of its artificial intelligence push.
What do you make of this job ad? Do you think ChatGPT and other generative AI agents will become common across game development moving forward? Share in the comments and on the Tech4Gamers forum.
