Many studios are now using AI, whether we like it or not. However, fans have taken to some criticism of Black Op7 7's use of generative AI. Now that Call of Duty Black Op 7 is in the hands of the players. They are speaking out about the use of AI, and they aren’t pleased.

Claims of Black Ops 7 having calling cards like Grok AI generated the images.

Activision, along with other studios, have stated the use of AI. Over on the Black Ops 7 Steam page near the bottom is the disclosure of AI generated content. “Our team uses generative AI tools to help develop some in-game assets.”

Activision has provided Xboxera with a statement about the use of AI.

“Like so many around the world, we use a variety of digital tools, including AI tools, to empower and support our teams to create the best gaming experiences possible for our players. Our creative process continues to be led by the talented individuals in our studios.”

Now it’s without saying, this is PR speak at its finest and doesn’t state in what forms of generative AI is being used. Is it creating the art assets? Code? Icons? Gameplay mechanics? It’s unknown. However, Activision isn’t the only studio using AI to help with production of their games. Krafton has gone on record saying they are an AI-first company moving towards the future among many other studios around the world.
