Epic Games is exploring new AI tools to help make its games, including in the art department.
Fortnite manager Stephanie Arnette shared this at Gamescom Latam and explained that Epic is testing AI to support its games because many workers worry it will take their jobs, but they claim that want to make teams work faster and easier, not to replace people.
Remember that Epic cut more than 1,000 jobs recently to save money.
She added that Epic keeps full control over AI in Fortnite, so outside partners cannot use their own AI tools without approval.
Epic CEO Tim Sweeney said earlier that AI will be part of almost every new game, so special labels like "Made with AI" are not needed, and the company already has an AI tool called Developer Assistant to help with Unreal Engine and Fortnite Creative.
