2022 was the year in which the use and application of software driven by artificial intelligence (AI) intensified the most in different sectors such as science, medicine and the entertainment industry. Hideo Kojima he knows it and is certain that his ideas can be immortalized thanks to technology.
Recently, the creator of titles such as Metal Gear Solid and Death Stranding celebrated the seventh anniversary of Kojima Productions, his development studio, which is why in an interview with IGN talked about many things, including what would happen after his death.
The 59-year-old Japanese creator knows that everything has its end and nothing lasts forever. Goodbye to the video game industry may come, but Kojima dreams of overcoming the deadly barrier and becoming an artificial intelligence developing games forever.
Hideo Kojima wants to become an artificial intelligence
With many projects underway, Kojima was asked what will happen to his studio in 50 or 100 years. He believes that he will continue to run the company as long as he can and that could become an AI to be around forever in some form for Kojima Productions to “maintain its current standards”.
“That is a good question. I’ve never really thought about that. I’ll continue to lead while I’m here, and all I care about is that our roots in creation remain intact.”, Hideo Kojima stated about the death.
Kojima concluded: “But you know, I’ll probably turn into an AI and stay. You need to be stimulated in many different ways if you want to keep creating new things, so I imagine I’ll keep collaborating with others and taking in new things even if I’m an AI.”.
Clearly, the Japanese creative likes the idea of remaining for posterity as an AI, a technological way to keep up with time and further enhance his legacy.
