Nintendo<\/a> recently held its shareholders question and answer sessions and there were plenty of questions from eager shareholders. One of those addressed to Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa were his thoughts<\/a> on Gen AI. Mr. Furukawa said that there are various issues with gen AI including environmental issues and copyright issues. From what he said it doesn\u2019t seem as though he\u2019s a fan of the technology. Here\u2019s what was said via machine translation:<\/p>\n

Question: There are various issues surrounding generative AI. Some generative AI systems have been developed using illegally obtained training data, including unauthorized learning. I would like you to state clearly that you will not use such systems. Please explain your approach to AI and how you are working with it.<\/p>\n

Answer: Regulations are advancing in various countries, and we comply with the laws in each jurisdiction. As for generative AI, Nintendo has long used AI-like technologies in game development, such as programs that control enemy character behavior. However, the generative AI that has become a major topic in recent years comes with many challenges, including issues related to power consumption. As a company, we carefully assess these technologies and take appropriate action to ensure that they do not infringe on intellectual property rights.<\/p>\n
