The Hybrid Future: Artists + AI in Game Development

About Session

AI isn’t here to replace game artists; think of it as a creative co-pilot that takes on the heavy lifting so designers, writers, and art directors can stay focused on what matters most: storytelling, polish, and style.
In this session, we’ll explore how AI pipelines are already accelerating asset creation and taking on grunt work such as blocking out geometry, generating variations, or rapidly iterating on concepts. We’ll show you how game developers can integrate these tools without sacrificing quality or creative vision.
We’ll also walk through a real-world use case to show what an AI-assisted workflow looks like in action, highlighting both the efficiency gains and the human creativity that makes the end result shine.
Come ready for an interactive discussion! After the walkthrough, we’ll open it up for Q&A and audience examples, so we can share, compare, and imagine where this hybrid future takes us next.
