Arc Raiders developer Embark might have retreated slightly on the use of AI-generated voices in its game, but company owner Nexon has big plans for the use of AI, and it's using the success of Arc Raiders as proof of concept for it.

"Beyond the breakaway commercial success, Arc Raiders is a Trojan Horse," Nexon president and CEO Junghun Lee said in a financial presentation held 31st March - "a gift that contains a shift in the mindset about how technology frees developers and live service teams to spend more time thinking and less time typing.

More time innovating; less time writing code." Arc criticis was Raiders for featuring AI-generated voice lines instead of having actors record the lines - a decision Embark later walked back on by having actors re-record some of them.

But that wasn't the only way AI tools were used in development of the game.

.

"During the development process, we may use procedural- and AI-based tools to assist with content creation," the Arc Raiders Steam page notes.

Though, "In all such cases, the final product reflects the creativity and expression of our own development team." Lee was talking about Arc Raiders' AI-use while promoting Nexon's Mono Lake AI initiative during the presentation.

"Nexon has used AI tools for some time and we're quickly moving past the tool level to applying context to everything we do," Lee said.

Referring to Arc Raiders' use of the tools, Lee added: "It changes how people work - the tools they use, how fast they can move, what they can accomplish.

.

But what goes into our games - the creative content our players actually experience - that remains the work of our developers.

Our methodology doesn't replace creative people, it frees them to create, with context ## Editor's Note We'll have to wait and see how this plays out in the coming weeks. Source: [Eurogamer](https://www.eurogamer.net/nexon-embark-arc-raiders-ai-push)
