Crazy Taxi: World Tour Dev Defends GenAI Use
Kenji Kanno, the original creator of Crazy Taxi, has defended Sega's use of generative AI in the development of Crazy Taxi: World Tour, stating that AI is used only as a reference for artists. The game's publisher, Sega, confirmed that generative AI was used for background assets, with all AI-generated content reviewed by human developers. Industry analyst Daniel Ahmad noted that while genAI use is more accepted in Asian markets, there's little evidence of a negative sales impact for disclosed AI usage in games.
