The Game Developers Conference is back & it’s taking over San Francisco! More than 24,000 people who make games have descended on the Moscone Center to discuss the future of play. Watch our interview with conference organizers on what’s in store this year:
Corrigan said among the topics sure to be discussed at the conference is the buzz swirling around generative artificial intelligence — the kind of AI used in chatbots like ChatGPT. Other bots using the technology can create images based on a user request.
"Generative AI is a big topic right now, especially with everything that's going on with the relationship between artists and AI," she said."I think that we can expect to see AI in the game industry, and used as a tool. But what's important is figuring out how to use it in an ethical and inclusive way."
Aside from the talk of AI, the conference has three"official" themes, Corrigan said: community, jobs and accessibility. The focus on jobs is especially key for universities bringing delegations of students to the conference with their games and art portfolios. "We have 13 students traveling with us right now," said Heather Cole, an instructor in the game development program at West Virginia University."Getting to see that, hey, this is a career — and look at all these other people who are also here as part of their career. Because back in West Virginia, you don't always think that is a career."
For those students, and for professionals, Hawkins said the in-person networking experience at the conference is one that can't be found anywhere else.This article tagged under:
