GTA Without Violence and Call of Duty Without Weapons. Sony is Working on AI That Will Censor Games in Real Time

The system will be able to dynamically cut, hide, or replace objectionable scenes with deepfakes.

Sony Interactive Entertainment has patented a technology that uses artificial intelligence to dynamically censor content in video games. This will allow real-time removal or masking of violent scenes, blood, sexual content, or profanity, turning adult games into versions suitable for children.

The AI analyzes what is happening on the screen - visuals and audio - and intervenes instantly: blurs blood, replaces character models, mutes swearing, or even substitutes neutral dialogue using deepfakes. Parents will be able to set rules in advance: for example, prohibit only violence, but allow light swearing. 

Unlike existing filters (like in Fortnite or Roblox), which are static and built-in by developers, this technology is reactive and works in real time with any games and on any platforms.
