Marvel Rivals owner Netease has responded to a strange situation in which Japanese developer Goichi Suda (Suda51) suggested the company had shuttered its generative AI research department and instructed its development teams to avoid the technology. Eager to set the record straight, Netease says no, it is still very much investing in AI tech.
As Eurogamer reports, Suda said, "They originally had a section researching and developing AI-related stuff, but at one point they decided not to do that any more. They folded that section and told their studios to not use AI in games, to not use it at all."
