Sony says "efficient" AI tools will lead to even more games flooding the market

Sony's top executives told investors that AI tools are already speeding up game development inside the company, and they expect this to trigger a flood of new games from developers of all sizes. Sony's internal AI tools, like Mockingbird, can convert motion capture data into animation in a fraction of a second, and machine learning can generate realistic hair animation automatically. These efficiency gains, executives say, will make previously too-costly or time-consuming projects now possible.
