Nintendo’s Shigeru Miyamoto has stated the company would “rather go in a different direction” when it comes to using AI.
In an interview with the New York Times, Miyamoto discussed the importance of originality for the company and what makes Nintendo special, using AI as an example.
“It might seem like we are just going the opposite direction for the sake of going in the opposite direction, but it really is trying to find what makes Nintendo special,” said Miyamoto. “There is a lot of talk about AI, for example.
