Take-Two Interactive, the parent company of Rockstar Games, has reportedly laid off Luke Dicken, the head of its AI division, along with several of his team members. Dicken announced the news via LinkedIn, expressing disappointment over the layoffs. His team was engaged in developing advanced technology aimed at enhancing game development. Take-Two has been actively integrating generative AI tools to improve efficiency and cut costs, a strategy that CEO Strauss Zelnick believes will ultimately lead to increased employment opportunities. Despite the layoffs, the timing is notable as the company prepares for the release of Grand Theft Auto VI, which is expected to be a significant financial success. While the layoffs may raise concerns about the future of AI in gaming, they reflect a broader trend of workforce reductions seen across the gaming industry.
