Balancing Perspectives on AI in Gaming: Jorjani Advocates Responsible Use in Helldivers 2 Development
Shams Jorjani, CEO of Arrowhead Game Studios (the developers of Helldivers 2), believes the gaming community needs to approach generative AI with a more balanced perspective. He raised this issue in response to questions about using AI to create voices in Arc Raiders. According to Jorjani, discussions about AI in gaming often become polarized, hindering constructive conversation. Jorjani emphasizes the need for a balanced approach, especially given AI’s growing presence in the gaming industry. He suggests first determining the beneficial and detrimental aspects of AI implementation. Jorjani notes that while some, like Square Enix, aim for high automation percentages in quality control, others—particularly producers—worry about job displacement and view AI negatively. However, Jorjani advocates for finding common ground. He states that many studios have long used middleware—a form of generative AI—to automate processes without controversy. Arc Raiders plans to use AI to generate additional lines for actors who did not initially record them. However, this would only be done ethically and with fair compensation. Jorjani thinks AI can enhance gaming, but only if used responsibly and with respect for copyright and intellectual property.
