Capcom: “AI is not for creating art, but to unlock the potential of creators”

Capcom says it uses AI to support game development workflows like debugging and checks, not to generate art.

At Google Cloud Next 2026, VP Shinichi Inoue said AI still cannot match human “sensibility” in creative work.

Technical director Kazuki Abe said humans remain in control of input, output, and quality while AI handles intermediate tasks.

The stance positions AI as a productivity tool for developers, not a replacement for artists or creative direction.
