Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth director Naoki Hamaguchi says the emerging trend of AI in game development is currently "not something that I could really go ahead with" on a personal level. That, and, as much as AI "might try and intrude and take part in the creative side of things," he'd like to think his team can "do better than AI," anyway.
As part of a wide-ranging interview with GamesRadar+ that we'll publish more of in the coming days and beyond, we spoke to Hamaguchi about the current state of the industry alongside the Final Fantasy 7 Remake project. As part of that, I asked for his thoughts on the current conversations swirling around the use of AI in game development and whether his team is using it.
