- Abstract: Artificial Intelligence (AI) is increasingly being used for generating digital assets, such as programming codes and images. Games composed of various digital assets are thus expected to be influenced significantly by AI. Leveraging public data and AI disclosure statements of games, this paper shows that relatively more independent developers entered the market when generative AI became more publicly accessible, but their purposes of using AI are similar with non-independent developers. Game features associated with AI hint nuanced impacts of AI on independent developers.

Generative AI enables games to produce dialogue, quests, characters, images, and worlds at runtime.<n>Yet generation alone does not make a game AI-native, nor does it guarantee playability.<n>This paper defines AI-native games by whether generative AI is runtime of the core loop.

In recent years, there has been an increased emphasis on understanding and mitigating adverse impacts of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies on society.
A significant challenge in the design of ethical AI systems is that there are multiple stakeholders in the AI pipeline, each with their own set of constraints and interests.
This position paper outlines some potential ways in which generative artworks can play this role by serving as accessible and powerful educational tools.
