As PlayStation celebrates its 30th anniversary, PlayStation bosses Herman Hulst and C0-CEO Hideaki Nishino had an interview with BBC where they talked about 30 years of PlayStation, the impact of AI on the video game industry, and the plans for growth in the future.
One of the biggest things that has kept growing and growing over the past few years is the advancement of AI throughout all areas of technology, with many in the games industry afraid how it may overtake jobs in the near future.
Hulst acknowledges that AI was changing gaming but said that there will always be a future for human developers.
“I suspect there will be a dual demand in gaming: one for AI-driven innovative experiences and another for handcrafted, thoughtful content,” he told the BBC.
“Striking the right balance between leveraging AI and preserving the human touch will be crucial.”
“Recently, we just announced a beta programme… allowing Cloud streaming directly to the handheld,” he said. “We’re always exploring various options for how players can play games.”
