Call of Duty Used Artificial Intelligence in Some Content

Activision, the publisher of the Call of Duty series, has confirmed that it uses AI tools in the development of some in-game assets. It was stated that generative AI technology is used in the creation of in-game visuals, loading screens and cosmetic content in particular. Activision made this statement on its Steam page in line with Valve’s requirements. However, the lack of details about which content is generated by AI has led to criticism from many players.

Artificial Intelligence and the Future of Call of Duty

According to Activision’s statement, AI tools only play a supporting role in the design of some in-game assets. The company made a statement saying, “Our teams use generative AI tools in the development of some in-game assets.” However, no clear information was given about which assets were generated by AI.

This situation has caused controversy among players. Some players think that the use of AI can reduce creative labor and reduce the quality of content. In particular, concerns that AI will replace human labor in the gaming world are increasingly common.

In the Call of Duty community, concerns about the use of AI are not limited to cosmetic content. Some players are concerned that this technology could spread to more important areas such as map design or storytelling in the future. In addition, this statement coincides with rumors about the return of Call of Duty’s popular map Verdansk.

Players are also questioning whether AI is being used in the redesign of the map. Call of Duty was one of the first major game series to confirm the use of AI. How this situation will affect players’ approach to games and what kind of an example it will set in the industry will become clear in the coming period.
