On the Front Lines of AI Game Dev

With AI taking over the tech industry, its role in game development is slowly shifting from novelty to potential necessity. Host Devin Becker sits down with Francois Courset, Senior Consultant at Naavik with experience around using AI in game development, to explore the current and near-future landscape of AI in game creation. The conversation covers everything from Francois’ high-level perspective on AI's role in the industry to specific tools that are already proving useful, alongside those that show promise but still need refinement.

The episode dives into where AI is making the biggest impact today, such as content generation and workflow automation, as well as less obvious areas that might benefit from AI with more maturity or experimentation. Francois also weighs in on whether studios should build internal AI expertise or lean on external support, and what developers should be doing now to prepare for what’s coming. The episode wraps with a rapid-fire round on the worst, best, and most exciting AI use cases in games.

Whether you’re hands-on in production or thinking strategically about the future, this episode provides a grounded look at AI’s growing role in game development.
