Roblox is bringing generative AI to its gaming universe


Roblox is testing a tool that could accelerate the process of building and altering in-game objects by getting artificial intelligence to write the code. “Generative AI will fundamentally transform game development, but it’s not going to happen overnight,” said Associate Professor Julian Togelius, affiliated with NYU Tandon's Game Innovation Lab. “Roblox is a good company to experiment with the technology, because its users are creators and it’s something of an upstart. But ultimately, more use of AI will require rethinking game development and game design.”
