Hideo Kojima has clarified his stance on the role of artificial intelligence in game development, emphasizing that his interest lies firmly in gameplay systems rather than visual generation. Speaking about his design philosophy in a recent interview, the Kojima Productions founder explained that AI holds greater potential when applied to player interaction and enemy behavior, rather than being used to create graphics or visual assets. “Rather than having AI create visuals or anything like that, I’m more interested in using AI in the control systems,” Kojima said. He elaborated that players approach games with vastly different habits and physical tendencies, which directly influence how they move, react, and engage with mechanics.
