Battlefield 6.

In an attempt to counter the notion that EA is replacing human labor with AI, CEO Andrew Wilson says the tech has somehow created more jobs within the publisher. As much appears to be what's happening in the QA department, at least.

He addressed concerns during Iicon, a games conference in Las Vegas organized by the Entertainment Software Association, the same outfit behind the now-defunct E3. "I saw some data recently, I think, now almost all – like 85% – of our quality assurance [work] is done with some kind of machine learning or AI-driven algorithm," he explains during an on-stage interview, per Game File.
