Michał Nowakowski, joint CEO at CD Projekt, the parent company of The Witcher and Cyberpunk 2077 developer, shut down a question during an earnings webcast about AI being used to "reduce headcount." The person asking the question describes "numerous reports that AI is making many people redundant", a claim Nowakowski adamantly refutes.
During CD Projekt's investor audio webcast for Q3 2025 earnings, someone asks whether AI tools can reduce headcount without compromising quality. "How would you describe the current availability of IT talent at your studios given numerous reports that AI is making many people redundant," the person asks. "Can you imagine that you can reduce headcount thanks to AI tools in the near future without any harm to work on your next projects?"
