In an interview, he admitted that he fully supports the use of AI in game development. Schofield believes that artificial intelligence is a tool that can make game production cheaper, faster, and more efficient.
He compared the fears surrounding AI with the industry's reaction to the emergence of Photoshop, which changed the world of digital art, as well as motion capture technologies, which ultimately raised quality standards.
Schofield noted that although AI raises questions about jobs, new professions will emerge, such as prompt engineers. The main thing is to be open to innovation and not succumb to the fear of change.
At the same time, according to research, only 9% of developers show interest in AI, and 27% do not plan to use it. The future of AI in game development remains open, but the revolution has already begun.
