Nintendo game designer Shigeru Miyamoto says the rise of AI gives the industry a chance to consider what matters most in making games, and he sees that reflection as positive. His comments come as developers weigh how new technology might affect creative work.

Miyamoto said Nintendo has long explored technology, including the use of computer graphics, while keeping its focus on making games enjoyable. He did not set out a specific role for AI at Nintendo; instead, he stressed that creators should think carefully about the purpose of their work as technology changes.
