Take-Two CEO supports the use of AI for NPCs in the next Grand Theft Auto

The use of artificial intelligence is the subject of much debate in the video game industry. In a recent interview, Strauss Zelnick, boss of Take-Two Interactive, expressed his support for this tool in a very specific case.

Indeed, he believes that AI could bring a great deal to non-player characters in the next Grand Theft Auto.

"Everyone’s working on that. You’re a playable character, you’re interacting with the non-playable character. That interaction is currently scripted. And the non-playable characters are generally not very interesting. You could imagine all the NPCs becoming really interesting and fun."
