Todd Howard: AI 'not a fad' but not used to generate content

Bethesda CEO Todd Howard revisited AI in a recent interview, saying "It's certainly not a fad" and that "the AI answer now becomes 'ask me in six months.'" He added that the company is "being incredibly cautious." Howard said Bethesda is "not fully ignoring it," but stressed they don't use AI to generate content and have no plans to.

Where AI can help with "big data tasks that just take us a lot of time," he suggested it can free teams to "move onto the creative stuff," while emphasizing that "creative intention comes from human artists, number one." Debate over AI's role in games continues.
