## Summary

Hideo Kojima says AI can make game development more efficient, but worries that relying on it could strip away the enjoyment of creating. The Metal Gear and Death Stranding creator argues that experimentation and hands-on work matter to creators, beyond simply producing a finished product.

In an interview with Game*Spark, Kojima compared AI with tools such as Photoshop and word processors, which sped up work over the past 40 years. He said AI could help with tedious tasks and deadlines, but warned that if it remains unrestricted it may play a key role in creative fields within five to ten years. Kojima said he hopes younger generations will carry the torch, and does not want trial and error to disappear from the creative process.
