AI could create thousands of jobs in gaming.

1. The article

The emergence of artificial intelligence


has brought consternation to people in all
manner of industries. The investment bank
Goldman Sachs has reported that AI could
replace more than 300 million jobs
worldwide in the next decade.

Hollywood actors went on strike earlier


this week demanding safeguards against AI replacing humans. One
sector that could benefit from bots is gaming. Dr Richard Wilson, boss
of the UK games association TIGA, said artificial intelligence would,
"lead to more games being made and more jobs". He said: "AI would
reduce the cost of making games and speed up the process. Reducing
overall development costs means more game studios, and therefore
more jobs."

Gaming has greatly advanced because of AI and was one of the first
industries to utilize it. Daniel Wood, co-CEO of the games body
UKIE, told the BBC how important AI has been for his trade. He said:
"The video games industry is always at the cutting edge of
technology, so we are already using AI in many areas, including
production, art, interaction with in-game characters, and community
management to create even more exciting and engaging experiences
for our players." He added: "The future possibilities of AI promise a
lot of exciting opportunities for our sector." However, sceptics believe
that it is only a matter of time before newly created jobs in gaming
will be taken over by the bots.
