This comes after Capcom&#8217;s involvement with Nvidia, and the use of DLSS 5, was made clear, leaving fans (and even developers) concerned about the state of Capcom&#8217;s AI.<\/p>\n<aside data-block-type=\"embed\" data-render-type=\"fte\" data-skip=\"dealsy\" data-widget-type=\"seasonal\" class=\"hawk-root\"\/>\n<p id=\"34a630bb-3bb0-40af-8fc7-5df65f2ac415-2\">Addressing the controversial topic, Capcom said: &#8220;Our company will not use our AI-generated content in game content. However, we plan to actively use this technology to improve efficiency and productivity in the game development process.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"article-continues-below block py-2 text-sm\">The article continues below <svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"inline-block w-2.5 h-2.5 ml-2\" fill=\"currentColor\" preserveaspectratio=\"xMidYMid meet\" viewbox=\"0 0 1000 1000\"><path d=\"M1000 100L500 900 0 100h1000z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/p>\n<aside data-component-name=\"Recirculation:ArticleRiver\" data-recirculation-type=\"inline\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"Trending Bar\" data-nosnippet=\"\" class=\"clear-both pb-0 pt-2 mb-4\">\n        <span class=\"&#10;            flex&#10;            after:content-[''] after:flex-1 after:ml-4 after:my-[0.7rem] after:border-t after:border-solid after:border-t-[#ccc]&#10;            before:content-[''] before:flex-1 before:mr-4 before:my-[0.7rem] before:border-t before:border-solid before:border-t-[#ccc]&#10;            font-article-heading pb-0 !text-base uppercase sm:text-sm font-bold&#10;        \"><\/p>\n<p>            You might like it<br \/>\n        <\/span><\/p>\n<\/aside>\n<p>&#8220;Therefore, we are currently exploring ways to use it in various areas such as graphics, audio, and programming.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Houses of Capcom <em>Bad Need for Residents<\/em> (and apparently upcoming games) will feature DLSS 5, and while it will be optional for players to use the technology, it&#8217;s a fine line Capcom is walking in terms of the AI \u200b\u200bit produces here.<\/p>\n<p>Using DLSS 5 arguably still counts as using productive AI in games, as it has been shown to change some scenery and character details. That said, this isn&#8217;t very clear, and delivering DLSS 5 doesn&#8217;t technically count as the use of production AI assets or materials (props or artwork) as we&#8217;ve seen. <em>The Crimson Desert<\/em>as Nvidia explained.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"a-helping-hand-3\">A helping hand?<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout\" data-bordeaux-image-check=\"\" id=\"e783d83c-4a5c-4dfe-aa04-08e10dd1c23a\">\n<div class=\"image-full-width-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"image-widthsetter\" style=\"max-width:3840px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:56.25%;\"> <picture data-new-v2-image=\"true\"><source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/to8pTzrN5wmb4rcQREyTqT-1200-80.jpg.webp 1200w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/to8pTzrN5wmb4rcQREyTqT-1024-80.jpg.webp 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/to8pTzrN5wmb4rcQREyTqT-970-80.jpg.webp 970w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/to8pTzrN5wmb4rcQREyTqT-650-80.jpg.webp 650w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/to8pTzrN5wmb4rcQREyTqT-480-80.jpg.webp 480w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/to8pTzrN5wmb4rcQREyTqT-320-80.jpg.webp 320w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 1000px) 970px, calc(100vw - 40px)\"\/><\/picture><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\" class=\" inline-layout\"><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: Nvidia \/ Capcom)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p id=\"379dd972-1d46-4d5a-b42a-0eb47a33ee5a\">The good news is that Capcom&#8217;s use of generative AI (outside of DLSS 5) should help developers when creating concept art or other ideas around game environments.<\/p>\n<div id=\"slice-container-newsletterForm-articleInbodyContent-fiWXu6uXmoZjBXRu7odADe\" class=\"slice-container newsletter-inbodyContent-slice newsletterForm-articleInbodyContent-fiWXu6uXmoZjBXRu7odADe slice-container-newsletterForm\">\n<div data-hydrate=\"true\" class=\"newsletter-form__wrapper newsletter-form__wrapper--inbodyContent\">\n<div class=\"newsletter-form__container\">\n<section class=\"newsletter-form__top-bar\"\/>\n<section class=\"newsletter-form__main-section\">\n<p class=\"newsletter-form__strapline\">Sign up for top news, reviews, opinions, top tech deals, and more.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>However, Capcom&#8217;s assurance may not sit well with fans, especially given the fear that DLSS 5 could serve as the first step to make artificial intelligence a mainstay of games &#8211; or worse, open the gate to artificial intelligence used in games.<\/p>\n<p>DLSS 5 and many other types of AI pose a serious threat to the game&#8217;s handcrafted, unique artwork, and threaten the lives of developers, given the game industry&#8217;s recent trend of mass layoffs.<\/p>\n<p>At this rate, it seems that players can only hope that AI is kept as far away from the game world as possible, and fan backlash can help achieve that.<\/p>\n<hr id=\"04911f53-1732-417a-90c4-a5b1f98d37a1\"\/>\n<p id=\"b6b37de6-f7d0-4eea-a565-803a018fdf06\"><em><strong>Follow TechRadar for Google news<\/strong><\/em>    again<em> <\/em><em><strong>add us as a favorite resource<\/strong><\/em><em>    to get our expert news, reviews, and opinions in your feed.
