prompted a response<\/a> from Level-5 president and CEO Akihiro Hino, who confirmed the company used generative AI to make their game footage \u201cmore spectacular,\u201d but conceded it had gone too far.<\/p>\n\u201cIt was entirely due to the desire to make the presentation more spectacular that we incorporated processing that also served as an experiment using the latest AI,\u201d Hino explained. \u201cIt appears that some people felt uncomfortable about this, so I deeply apologize.\u201d<\/p>\n
He added: \u201cHowever, at our company, the parts that relate to the charm and individuality of the released works\u2014such as scenarios, character designs, and basic settings\u2014are all created by human hands.\u201d<\/p>\n
The CEO claimed that Level 5 is using AI to digitize \u201ccreative work made by people\u201d, such as \u201cconverting original artwork into polygons\u201d, but insisted that \u201cno simplistic AI-generated output data is included in the games that are released\u201d.<\/p>\n
He continued: \u201cOn the contrary, thanks to the time created by AI efficiency, creators are now able to dedicate more time to the essence of creation, and I believe the finished products are turning out to a level that will satisfy everyone even more than before.<\/p>\n
\u201cUltimately, under the plan to shorten the current 5-year development period for major titles to 2 years, we are in the stage of trial and error, and struggling forward.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat said, it\u2019s undeniable that this time, out of the desire to create a clear and flashy presentation, we ended up using AI in a wide variety of ways. We will take this as a lesson and carry it forward to the next one, so please look forward to Level Five\u2019s next presentation.\u201d<\/p>\n
