A word from Steel Media
Our Steel Media COO, Dave Bradley, shared his insight into generative artificial intelligence and what it means for the gaming industry. With the release of GPT-4, for better or worse, it seems more certain than ever that AI is the next stage in society’s technological development. It follows in the footsteps of the leaps we’ve seen in our lives so far: web, social media, mobile. Unlike blockchain, which is incomprehensible to non-technical people, ChatGPT provided new tools for everyone.
It’s fun to play, but the potential impact of AI on the entertainment industry cannot be overstated. Media, Publishing, and Gaming Industry Workers – This is what you need to read. Writers, artists, marketing managers, coders, recruiters, salespeople… AI tools make your competitors work faster, so you need to educate yourself.
Like all tools since the industrial revolution, generative AI does automation. Speed up the process and complete in seconds what used to take an hour. It allows computers to autonomously analyze, manipulate, and synthesize content to generate high-quality, lifelike text, images, website code, and even entire immersive worlds. NPCs interact fluidly with users.
AI tools make our competitors work faster, so we need to educate ourselves.

There are ethical, legal, and professional considerations to consider, not to mention the prevalence of inaccuracies. However, AI will continue to evolve and become more important to businesses in the year ahead. As AI algorithms get smarter at understanding and processing human language, we can expect more sophisticated and realistic text generation and better speech recognition and language translation.
Generative AI will undoubtedly revolutionize certain aspects of content creation and production, from speeding up the video editing process to generating marketing graphics and entire story plots. But in the short term, it won’t replace people at work. Instead, generative AI becomes part of our process, empowering professionals to speed up and enhance their workflows, giving them more room to focus on creative and strategic tasks. It complements, not replaces, human ingenuity.
AI was the hottest topic at the biggest gaming conference ever held in London this January. So, as he plans for the upcoming conference season, he’ll be bringing his knowledge and input to the Seattle stage in May at a special AI edition of Pocket Gamer Connects, May 16-17. , will focus more. ”
