Netflix Executive Promotes AI Game Development Shortly After Huge Layoffs
Generative AI has been the epicenter of conversation about the future of entertainment across movies, TV, music, and video games. With more studios and developers embracing the technology, despite an ongoing voice-actor strike and even Robert Downey Jr. planning to sue anyone who uses his likeness. A Netflix executive is doubling down on using generative AI for video game development, even after shutting down a Netflix-owned gaming company.
Former VP of Games Mike Verdu recently announced on his LinkedIn he's been named VP of GenAI for Games at Netflix, something he's excited to dabble in.
"At long last, I am ready to talk about what I'm doing next: I am working on driving a 'once in a generation' inflection point for game development and player experiences using generative AI," the post read. " This transformational technology will accelerate the velocity of development and unlock truly novel game experiences that will surprise, delight, and inspire players."
