Cygames, the company behind Umamusume, has apologized and explained its recent announcement of a new AI division, Cygames AI Studio, Inc., following criticism from the public.
This announcement follows the studio’s January 9th reveal of its new AI company, which has raised worries among fans about the potential use of AI-generated content in their games, such as Umamusume: Pretty Derby.
Cygames has admitted its first announcement about generative AI didn’t fully address recent concerns and discussions, and has apologized for the frustration and worry this caused.
The studio made it clear that it doesn’t currently use AI-generated art in any of its products, and it promises to inform players before adding such technology to its games in the future.
Umamusume devs address AI backlash
I was so relieved to hear from Cygames on January 14th! They made it clear that all the beautiful art in their games is still made by real people – their talented artists and creators. It’s great to know they’re committed to supporting human artistry and aren’t relying on AI to do the work.
Cygames emphasized its commitment to creators and the gaming community, promising to continue supporting creative freedom and providing high-quality entertainment.
This explanation responds to concerns fans had after the studio announced its use of AI. The initial announcement highlighted AI’s potential for innovation but didn’t detail how it would actually be used in games.
