Artificial intelligence is worrying workers. The bank Goldman Sachs reported that AI could replace 300 million jobs worldwide. Hollywood actors are on strike demanding safeguards against AI. One sector that could benefit from AI is gaming. AI would mean more games. A gaming expert said AI makes games easier and faster to create. He said: "Lower development costs means more game studios, and therefore more jobs."
Gaming has greatly advanced because of AI. A UK games body said gaming is always at "the cutting edge of technology". Gaming uses AI to develop characters and stories, and to create even more engaging experiences. The games body said: AI promises lots of "exciting opportunities for our sector". However, sceptics believe that it will not be too long before the bots will take over many gaming jobs.
