In the last year or so, we have covered at least two game industry worker surveys—[one from the GDC](https://www.techpowerup.com/345810/state-of-the-game-industry-survey-game-workers-united-on-unionization-divided-on-gen-ai) and the other from [Skillsearch](https://www.techpowerup.com/348299/game-industry-workers-ai-hurts-creativity)—that found that generative AI remains a divisive topic within the industry. A more recent Gamescom Dev Speaker Survey has echoed previous findings, although there is a lot of agreement that AI is changing the game development landscape at some level, regardless of how popular or unpopular it has become.

The survey contained a number of questions about AI usage in games. When asked about which industry development would have the biggest impact in the following three years, AI-assisted development came back as the top response, with 47% of developers voting for that option. The current RAM crisis was a distant second, with only 28% of the votes. "Code and Production" came up as the area where developers saw the most value in generative AI, but 30% stated that they "would like to see as little AI involvement in game development as possible."[](https://www.techpowerup.com/img/CxvTySKreB2HVLfz.jpg) [](https://www.techpowerup.com/img/GS3ipKkUvVYwnf4W.jpg) [](https://www.techpowerup.com/img/fgpFKYSnaywotjKd.jpg)[Read full story](https://www.techpowerup.com/351526/survey-reveals-ai-is-still-controversial-in-game-development)
