The Role of Generative AI in Games Research

Generative artificial intelligence (generative AI) has seen a meteoric rise in capability, popularity, and use. As the popularity of this technology grows, protocols are being developed around how to manage the use of generative AI in academic spaces. It is imperative that the games and play research community join this important conversation, and discuss the appropriateness of using generative AI in both digital games, and our own academic works.
