"As reported , he was speaking at the Paley International Council Summit in Palo Alto, California on the topic of "Big Ideas, Small Games: Creativity Beyond the Blockbuster" with Double Fine studio head Tim Schafer following the release of Keeper. Microsoft has been pushing AI into all of its products and CEO Satya Nadella has bragged about relying on multiple AI assistants throughout the day to run one of the biggest tech firms in the world."
"But it's less clear how those tools are being used by rank-and-file employees within the company, especially on the gaming side. According to Spencer, Microsoft gaming's biggest deployment of AI technology right now is in its platform moderation tools. The company announced last year that it's been using AI tools to help flag and intercept offensive or spam-related communications on Xbox."
Massive corporate investment in AI is driving competition despite unclear benefits. Microsoft is integrating AI widely across products while internal usage varies by division. The gaming division currently prioritizes operational AI for platform moderation, using automated tools to flag and intercept offensive or spam communications and to enforce parental controls on protected child accounts. Company executives employ multiple AI assistants for internal workflows. Player-facing applications remain limited but could address discovery and curation challenges. Current gaming AI deployment emphasizes safety and management over creative content generation, reflecting an early-stage, practical focus on operational use cases.
