Kojima On AI: "We Can't Go Back"

"Now there are so many people who can't live without their smartphones. AI is like that."

"I think there isn't any point in saying 'We shouldn't use AI' or 'AI is useless.' We can't go back. Smartphones were the same."

"It's time to face reality. AI is here to stay with us. As frightening as it may be, that's the way it is."

AI is irreversible and comparable to smartphones, rendering outright opposition impractical. AI can assist people with social anxiety to communicate more effectively in face-to-face situations and can take over repetitive tasks, freeing human creators to focus on imaginative work. Critics argue that AI cannot make the 'bold choices' humans can and raise concerns about job losses, environmental impacts from AI infrastructure, and the practical utility of generative tools for concept artists. Industry reactions vary, with some executives prompting debate and promising further clarification, and many voices urging mindful, measured adoption of AI technologies.
