Generative AI is creeping into video game development, but there will never be a true substitute for human decision making.

Microsoft Corp. unveiled artificial intelligence tools that can create video-game scenes that would normally have to be programmed and animated by a human, a model it built using data collected from Xbox gamers and their controllers.

Microsoft Research and Ninja Theory teamed up to build Muse, a generative AI model capable of generating gameplay.

Microsoft debuted Muse, a generative AI model that can be trained to output video game visuals and predict controller inputs. The company describes the technology as the future of gameplay ideation, not as something to be used in place of human creativity during game development.
