Fortnite developers are exploring how to use AI systems to potentially make games more efficiently, but it’s not being done with the ambition of replacing human workers, according to an Epic employee. Stephanie Arnett, who is a senior external development manager at the company, said recently that Epic has been “exploring different AI tooling that we can use to help support our games.”
Speaking at a Gamescom Latam panel attended by GamesRadar, Arnett went on to say she understands that “everyone’s biggest fear” is that “AI is going to take all our jobs.”
“That’s not our goal. The goal is to make us more efficient,” she said, offering up an example that, with the use of AI, developers might be able to complete tasks more quickly. She did not give specifics, but said Epic’s experimentation with AI so far has included work “in the art realm as well.”
That part specifically is particularly upsetting some in the Fortnite community, as fans generally do not want to see art in their games made with generative AI. Some studios do this already, as Activision has disclosed that some assets for Call of Duty are made with generative AI. Fortnite is another hugely popular live-service game
