Rockstar co-founder Dan Houser is using AI, but cautions "it's not as useful as some companies would have you believe yet"
Rockstar Games co-founder and Absurd Ventures founder Dan Houser has broken rank with many of his industry peers, acknowledging that while he and his team are "dabbling" in AI, "it's not as useful as some of the companies would have you believe yet".
In an interview with the Channel 4 show Sunday Brunch to publicise his new book, A Better Paradise, Houser admitted that the games industry "can either go somewhere really interesting or somewhere that gets overly focused on making money," adding: "There's always that danger with any commercial artform that [companies] get distracted by money."
"With all these technology companies, people get rich and powerful on a scale almost nobody's ever seen before," Houser said, as transcribed by our sister site, Eurogamer.

Dan Houser, best known for his work writing video games like the Red Dead and Grand Theft Auto series, is creating a video game based on his recently released novel about an AI gone wrong.
Last year, he wrote an audio drama about a game studio that created an AI agent that is "riddled with self-loathing," and has just released a novelization of that podcast series.
A Better Paradise – Volume One: An Aftermath is just the beginning of a new series for Houser. Speaking on Sunday Brunch, the Rockstar co-founder doesn't just discuss his new book, but the game he's been making in the same setting. "We are making a game set in the same world, but not exactly the same story," Houser says. "We've begun work on that about 18 months ago, and that'll be another few years in development."
