You’ve probably heard about the recent controversy surrounding the game ARC Raiders. Some discussion arose regarding how Embark Studios used AI to generate character voices, and one review site responded with a very low score, which negatively impacted the game’s overall Metacritic rating.
Nexon’s CEO, Junghun Lee, has publicly defended his company’s use of AI in games, claiming it’s far more widespread than people think. He stated that virtually all game companies are now using AI in some way, and dismissed concerns about AI-generated voices in their game, ARC Raiders, as unfounded.
Should We Ignore The AI-Generated Voices in ARC Raiders?
Some players have expressed concerns about the use of AI-generated voices in ARC Raiders, but most aren’t bothered by it. The game has been a commercial success, selling four million copies in its first week and attracting a large number of players simultaneously on various platforms.
ARC Raiders is receiving incredible reviews, becoming the highest-rated multiplayer shooter in the last ten years and the best extraction shooter of all time.
Despite the studio’s efforts, some people online are still criticizing the new post-apocalyptic game. The criticism centers around the game’s use of AI-generated voices, which some seem to misunderstand. Embark Studios has explained that voice actors were hired, gave their consent to have their voices replicated using AI, and were compensated fairly, but this hasn’t satisfied everyone.
Junghun Lee, CEO of Nexon, the parent company of Embark Studios, explained in an interview:
Let’s start by assuming all game companies are already using artificial intelligence. Since everyone has access to similar tools, the key challenge is figuring out how to stand out from the competition. The best way to do that is to develop a strategy that makes your company more competitive.
AI has definitely improved efficiency in both game production and live service operations.
AI helps Embark Studios launch and continually update their game quickly and affordably. They’re also using machine learning to create more lifelike movement for enemies. However, the AI-generated voices have been controversial, and many players aren’t sure if they’re comfortable with this technology becoming commonplace in games.
