- Dead Space creator has come out in support of generative AI for game development.
- He says even if the software is incomplete right now, it can be trained to perfection.
- Schofield also says that the threat of art theft through AI is a non-issue.
Whether we like it or not, the AI now has a huge influence on game development. While it is criticized, it also has its advantages. Recently, Kojima showed his liking of the tech, and now another industry veteran has come in support of it.
Former Call of Duty director says that generative AI in gaming can help a lot with game development. He says it is the right investment to make, and developers should be trained with AI to make the software better.
Why it matters: Use of AI is often labelled as lazy or theft of other people’s art, but it is something that has become a reality, and more studios are now working to improve it further for their future titles.
In an interview with VGC, Dead Space creator and former Call of Duty director, Glen Schofield, gave his two cents about the use of generative AI. He says it is the way forward and studios should invest in it.
First, let’s train everybody (with generative AI). We know this new wave is coming. You play with it. You learn it. You grow with it. Right?

He says that the argument that the software isn’t ready is not really a problem because the developers can be trained to improve it. He also defended the argument that generative AI is an infringement on original creations.
Schofield used a Picasso quote to justify the situation, stating, ‘Good artists always borrow, great artists steal.’ For those worried about it, they can make their own rules and let the law deal with all the stuff.
With more big names adopting AI, it seems the influence will only grow. DICE didn’t use AI with Battlefield 6, but they showed intent to use it in the future. So is the case with countless other studios.
