He says the aim is to help everyone at Epic build more and better stuff, rather than do the same work with fewer people, and bring the benefits to all teams using Unreal.

Pirat_Nation 🔴@Pirat_NationEpic Games is going all-in on AI, but CEO Tim Sweeney says the goal isn’t to replace developers. “We want everyone here to build MORE and BETTER stuff.” He admitted the industry is changing fast: “Much of the room wants it to be 2016 again, but it’s not.” Sweeney believes AI will help developers test ideas faster instead of spending months building features only to find they don’t work. “The biggest change will be much faster time from idea to playtesting,” He wants better games in less time, not the same work with fewer people, but Epic laid off over 1,000 employees earlier this year, so AI job promises are quite doubtful.14h
