SIE's CEO Hideaki Nishino, studio CEO Hermen Hulst, and SVP Lynn Azar stated AI is already embedded in development processes, improving immersive experiences and content discovery. Concrete examples include Mockingbird, an AI tool generating facial models from performance capture used in Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered, and synthetic voices as placeholder audio. Leadership emphasized AI is meant to augment human talent, not replace it, while also experimenting with smaller AI-first initiatives. The announcement aligns with Sony's broader digital-first shift, including plans to end physical disc production for new PlayStation games by January 2028. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
