“Europe needs to step up now to strengthen its defenses and regain its competitiveness,” argue Douglas Rediker and Heidi Crebo-Rediker. “Otherwise, the continent risks reinforcing the perception that it can be divided and managed rather than treated as a global economic player.”

You don’t have to look very hard to find examples of AI backlash in creative industries, but perhaps no group of fans, industry workers, and consumers is more intense about AI use than gamers. This week, after mentioning AI use in an interview, the CEO of Larian, the company behind ‘Baldur’s Gate 3’ and the forthcoming ‘Divinity,’ tried and failed to quell massive push, and the episode was just one of many.

Just this month, the latest ‘Postal’ game was axed by its publisher after fans spotted AI-generated material in the game’s trailer. The developers of ‘Arc Raiders’ were accused of using AI instead of voice actors, leading to calls for boycotts, while the developers of the ‘Call of Duty’ franchise were called out for AI-generated assets that players found strewn across ‘Black Ops 7.’

“Gaming’s part in the AI culture war is characteristic of the industry and its fandom,” writes tech columnist John Herrman. “Among the workforce … AI is often seen as a tool for managers to extract more productivity and justify layoffs. Among players, it can foster a sense that gamers are being tricked or ripped off, while also dovetailing with more general objections to generative AI.”
