Hideo Kojima expressed reservations about AI’s role in game development after Nvidia’s DLSS 5 technology was used in Death Stranding 2. In a Koji10 podcast interview, the creator noted that while AI can efficiently restore old footage or upscale images, it lacks the capacity to grasp artistic intent, which is crucial for his projects. Kojima emphasized that any AI integration would need his direct control and warned against autonomous changes that could alter his creative vision. He acknowledged that AI will likely become a standard tool, but remains cautious about its influence on future titles such as OD and Physint.
