New Xbox CEO Asha Sharma and COO Matt Booty have commented on AI usage on the platform, saying there's no mandate to include it in development.
Given Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella's obsession with AI, the appointment of Sharma – previously the lead of Microsoft's CoreAI – raised a few eyebrows. Sharma quickly got out in front of things by releasing a statement to Microsoft employees saying, "We will not chase short-term efficiency" or "soulless AI slop." Following that, the duo of Sharma and Booty has spoken about Xbox's plans for AI use going forward.
