"Is the Gaming Industry Ready to Embrace AI's Potential?"

Despite the Tokyo Game Show 2023 showcasing hot trends like generative AI and virtual reality/augmented reality (VR/AR) headsets, major game developers in Japan, including Koei Tecmo, are cautious about adopting these technologies. While conventional algorithmic AI has been used for a long time, integrating generative AI into game development poses challenges, including copyright concerns. The gaming industry sees huge potential in VR/AR headsets, but developers feel that the current games available do not meet expectations. They believe that the market needs more time to cultivate user interest before these technologies can be successfully implemented.
