Game studio CEO Irena Pereira: games must be made by people, not AI
CurieuxExplorer · x · 2026-10-03
- Irena Pereira, CEO of Infinite Realms and Unleashed Games (in partnership with former Benchmark partner Mitch Lasky), pushed back on AI-authored games.
- Her take: "Games themselves should be made by people, because if an AI is deciding what you're experiencing, then it's not telling a story that has meaning to humans."
- She also highlighted the emptiness of kids' playgrounds today and argued video games, built on the engagement patterns of the most successful game ever, could become the most potent connection medium.
- CurieuxExplorer added the framing question: if AI authors the world, whose loneliness does it solve, and whose story never gets told?
