- This shows that the gaming industry is heading toward AI, as each company is heavily invested in this tech.
Many fear that AI will take their jobs, and this fear isn’t limited to the gaming industry. AI is evolving at a crazy speed and won’t stop anytime soon. This is causing the fear to rise, but some think that the AI revolution won’t happen.
However, companies are adopting AI technologies faster than ever. Sony is now setting up a new first-party studio and hiring people who have expertise in using generative AI tools for AAA games.
Why it matters: Companies are now investing massively in Artificial Intelligence, and this is just the beginning. More and more companies are likely to follow Sony’s example.
We are seeking a Senior Concept Artist to join our LA studio, reporting directly to our Art Director. The ideal candidate is proactive, with strong skills In generative AI tools.
Sony has recently formed a new LA-based studio, Dark Outlaw Games, and is hiring people with expertise in using generative AI tools. This studio gained traction earlier this year mainly because of Jason Bundell, who you may know for working on the Black Ops campaigns.
If you are unaware, Dark Outlaw Games is working on a game that is said to be a “high-profile AAA console title.” Given that Bundell is the head of the studio, this statement has some weight, so we, along with many fans, are excited to see what the new IP will be all about.
However, the studio’s new job listing (first spotted by The Game Post) is concerning and suggests that it is headed in the wrong direction. The studio is hiring a senior concept artist with advanced expertise in generative AI tools like Stable Diffusion, ChatGPT, and Midjourney.
The job description further states that the candidate should “define and polish 2D artwork created by both human artists and generative AI tools.” This shows that the gaming industry is inevitably heading towards AI, and no one can stop it.
