Rockstar Games co-founder Dan Houser has revealed the truth about the extent to which artificial intelligence (AI) is currently being using by companies developing games.

Speaking on Channel 4's Sunday Brunch, Houser said: "We [at Absurd Ventures] are making a game set in the same world [as A Better Paradise] but not exactly the same story. We started work on that 18 months ago and that will be a few years in development.

"We are dabbling in using AI but the truth is, a lot of it is not as useful as some of the companies would have you believe yet. It's not going to solve all of the problems."

Houser also spoke about how he sees the gaming industry going moving forward.

"As with all things, it can either go somewhere really interesting or somewhere that gets overly focused on making money," he said.

"There's always that danger with any commercial art form that they get distracted by money but there's still a big ceiling creatively to make these living narrative experiences. I think both will win."

Houser spoke on Channel 4's Sunday Brunch about new book A Better Paradise - Volume One: An Aftermath which is out now through Absurd Ventures.
