Razer chief executive Min-Liang Tan has defended the company's heavy investment in artificial intelligence, arguing that gamers' hostility towards the technology stems from poor implementation rather than opposition to AI itself. Speaking on The Decoder podcast in an episode taped during this year's CES, Tan insisted that well-designed AI tools could ultimately lead to better games, even if players do not yet realise it.
Razer recently announced plans to invest $600 million in AI over the next few years, alongside hiring around 150 AI engineers. The move has drawn sharp criticism from parts of the gaming community, with many players and developers voicing fears that creativity will be replaced, jobs will be lost, and games will be flooded with low-quality, AI-generated content.
