Generative AI is a hot topic these days, with many people and companies working on it for around five years. At GamesBeat Summit, Spectrum Labs’ Justin Davis sat down with Dean Takahashi to discuss whether communities are ready for this technology.
While many big names in generative AI have already crossed the five-year mark, it takes time to create working technology. As consumers, we only see the end result, but creators spend a lot of time thinking about how the technology will be used by the public. They have to consider all angles, including bad-faith uses that have already begun to pop up.
Despite some examples of AI-generated hoaxes causing harm, most people don’t have a solid grasp on AI yet. However, with software like ChatGPT and Unity’s Project Barracuda becoming more mainstream, it’s only a matter of time. The technology is there, and it’s improving every day.
As companies begin to use generative AI to build video game worlds or for moderation purposes, communities won’t have much choice but to get ready. But for now, there’s still a necessary human element in play. AI can do a lot, but it can’t do everything.

In recent years, there has been a growing debate as to whether or not artificial intelligence (AI) will create or solve more problems in the near future. On one hand, some experts argue that AI holds the potential to solve many of the world’s most pressing issues. AI can be used to help analyze big data, improve medical diagnostics, reduce poverty, and more. On the other hand, AI can also be used to power weapons, facilitate consumer tracking, and create major cybersecurity problems.
From a humanitarian standpoint, AI presents both advantages and disadvantages. For example, AI can be used to target resources to those in need as well as provide more efficient delivery of global services. However, the rise of automated decision-making also raises questions about moral and ethical issues such as privacy and fairness. There is also the potential for AI to lead to job displacement, which could have a major impact on society.
The ethical implications of AI are another major concern. AI has the potential to make decisions with little to no human input, leaving it open to biases. The long-term implications of such decisions could have long-lasting effects on society. Furthermore, the possibility of rogue AI scenarios, or those which lead to existential risks, cannot be overlooked.
In conclusion, AI represents both incredible potential and danger for society. Despite the risks and challenges, however, it is clear that AI will continue to play an ever-increasing role in our lives. It is up to us to ensure that AI is used responsibly and ethically, and that it is properly regulated to minimize the potential risks that come with it.
