Square Enix appears to have learnt its lesson when it comes to sparkly new technology—just with a considerable input delay. Earlier this year, Square Enix's president Takashi Kiryu spoke , which carried strong echoes of the company's equally ill-timed .
In a newsletter from January, he stated: "I believe that generative AI has the potential not only to reshape what we create, but also to fundamentally change the processes by which we create," and that the company would be "aggressive in applying AI and other cutting-edge technologies to both our content development and our publishing functions."
As reported by on Twitter (and later spotted, then translated by ), in a June 21 call to investors, Kiryu seems to believe that, just maybe, being hyper-aggressive about applying a controversial new technology isn't the best of ideas:
"AI itself has tremendous potential. However, there are also many risks involved." Said risks are not just relegated to the court of public opinion—generative AI technology has a habit of hallucinating information. For instance, it may completely fabricate a recipe, invent a case study in a lawsuit, or create a coding solution that doesn't exist in programming. "We have introduced a flow whereby AI-related tools [[link]] are used internally only after being properly examined," Kiryu added.
Looking at the wider industry, most actual developers aren't , outside of confining it [[link]] to boring grunt work—basically, the scope of the tech is there, but limited, and often decided on by the people actually making the stuff rather than far-removed executives who think it could, like, totally and drive up emotions by 500%.
Kiryu seems to have actually digested these criticisms properly, though, stating that the company would only be applying generative AI to "areas unrelated to creativity"—better late than never, as they say. He notes that, in particular, using generative AI [[link]] in creative fields is "extremely delicate", and that he'd be keeping an ear to the ground.

I appreciate the themed slot games, especially those based on movies and TV shows. They make the gaming experience more engaging and immersive. The combination of storyline, visuals, and bonus features makes each game feel unique. I love the overall aesthetic of the platform. The animations, visual effects, and sound design make the gaming experience more dynamic and immersive. It's one of the reasons I keep coming back. I really enjoy playing the slot games here. The variety is amazing, from classic reels to modern video slots with interactive bonus rounds. Every spin feels like an adventure, and the graphics and sound effects are top-notch, making the experience immersive and exciting.
