Despite all the outrage and criticism around game developers and publishers using generative AI in gaming, a new report from the Game Developers Conference (GDC) calculates that as many as 40 percent of developers active in the industry use the controversial tools in their work. This is up four percent compared to the same report last year.

That's according to the latest State of the Game Industry report from GDC, which gathers data from more than 2,300 respondents including, but not limited to, game industry professionals, made up of developers, producers, marketers, executives, and investors.
