Square Enix is going all out for artificial intelligence
, by Thibaut
Takashi Kiryu arrived at the head of the Japanese publisher last June, and has made no secret of his intentions on a rather thorny subject for the video game industry.
In a letter addressed to employees at the start of the year, Square Enix's president said he intended to be "aggressive"* in his use of artificial intelligence.
"We also intend to be aggressive in applying AI and other cutting-edge technologies to both our content development and our publishing functions. In the short term, our goal will be to enhance our development productivity and achieve greater sophistication in our marketing efforts. In the longer term, we hope to leverage those technologies to create new forms of content for consumers, as we believe that technological innovation represents business opportunities."
