Artificial intelligence continues to be a major talking point in the world of video games and beyond, and now the top boss at GTA parent company Take-Two has chimed in with his thoughts. Strauss Zelnick said in an interview that artificial intelligence will be embraced as a digital tool to assist humans and that employment numbers will go up long-term as a result.
“Artificial intelligence is an oxymoron; there’s no such thing. Machine learning… machines don’t learn,” he told GI.biz. “Those are convenient ways to explain to human beings what looks like magic. The bottom line is that these are digital tools and we’ve used digital tools forever.”
He added: “I have no doubt that what is considered AI today will help make our business more efficient and help us do better work, but it won’t reduce employment.”
