"Square Enix Integrates AI Art into New Foamstars Game"

Square Enix's upcoming game Foamstars will feature AI-generated art for album covers, created using the AI generation tool Midjourney, while the core gameplay and other elements are still handmade. The company's president has expressed a commitment to aggressive use of AI in development and publishing. The use of AI in game development has sparked mixed reactions, with concerns about copyright infringement and potential impact on the labor market. Despite these controversies, Foamstars' PR representative clarified that the AI-generated art was used only for album covers, with the rest of the game being entirely created by the development team.
