Automating tasks that “nobody wants to do” is one benefit of machine learning, Swen Vincke says.

Some fear advancements to such systems might lead to negative consequences, while others predict a rosier future.

We caught up with Vincke recently, who discussed a range of subjects, including machine learning and AI.

Watch the full interview below.

For these purposes, machine learning “works really well,” Vincke said.

Some people have legitimate fears of machine learning and AI systems stealing their work or taking their jobs.

However, Vincke said Larian is hiring more people, not fewer, thanks to new technologies.

This is what others,like EA CEO Andrew Wilson and Take-Two boss Strauss Zelnick, have predicted.

“When complexity goes up, things start getting really interesting.

“The faster you might iterate, the faster you will get to a certain result.

Vincke said it’s “the wrong attitude” to assume that automation will replace various people and departments.

“That’s not necessarily cost reduction,” he added.

“But it’s going to be an increase of ability, which is a good thing.”

“It’s an inspirational goal.

I cannot say more, because it needs to stay in that dream-reality,” he said.
