Todd Howard Frames AI As Development Tool

Bethesda director Todd Howard told Eurogamer at a Fallout season two event this week that he views AI "as a tool" for speeding iterations while insisting human creative intention must be preserved. He spoke as industry adoption rises—Unity reported 62% of studios used AI and GDC found about a third of workers using AI—and amid controversies like a cancelled title over alleged generative-AI use.
