For decades, the worlds players explored and the characters they spoke to were built by human hands — painstakingly, one room and one line of dialogue at a time.

Researchers at the University of Granada are among those studying what this means not just for how games are made, but for the deeper question of what it means to create — and what is lost when the hand of the craftsperson is replaced

Consumers benefit from more diverse, personalized gaming experiences with reduced game development timelines and potentially lower prices. However, job displacement in game design and art departments may reduce industry employment, affecting labor markets.
Regulators may need to address AI-generated content ownership, copyright concerns for procedurally-generated assets, labor displacement in creative industries, and potential monopolistic practices by AI-dominant studios. Consumer protection regarding AI-driven monetization mechanics may also require attention.
