Rockstar Games co-founder Dan Houser may be incorporating advanced artificial intelligence into the plot of his new novel, A Better Heaven: Volume 1 – Aftermathbut he is not interested in the current state of technology.

Guest appearance on Channel 4 Sunday brunchHauser admitted that his upcoming video game based on A Better Heaven might have some artificial intelligence. But he also warned that the technology behind artificial intelligence is not yet able to deliver on its greatest promises.
“We're trying to use AI, but the truth is, a lot of its uses aren't as useful as some companies would have you believe,” Hauser said. “You know, it's not going to solve every problem. We have a whole set of areas where technology is needed, and AI is great at some tasks but not others yet.”
Hauser was then asked about the future of gaming as AI technology becomes a part of it, saying that gaming will be somewhere between art and commerce.
“(Games) can either go to a place where it's really fun, or they can go to a place where they're overly focused on making money,” Hauser said. “I think there's a danger in any commercial art form of being distracted by money. But I think there's still a big ceiling on the creativity of creating this kind of vivid narrative experience, and I think that's what we've been trying to do.”
When asked whether he thought the pursuit of money or creativity would ultimately win, Hauser clarified that both would win.
“I think there will be two parts,” Hauser said. “I've seen this in the gaming industry and they're all winning.”
