Overview
- Hideo Kojima told The Washington Post on Monday that he is “not interested” in AI‑generated art and does not think AI will create art in his lifetime.
- An AI‑generated likeness of Kojima appears in Satellites II, a Nicolas Winding Refn and Prada short that used generative tools and was shown at festival and Prada Mode events to mixed and often negative reaction over visible visual artifacts.
- Kojima has previously said he sees AI as an efficiency aid that can handle tedious creative chores while humans lead the creative decisions.
- He did not make the Satellites II piece and did not directly address the online backlash over his AI likeness in the Washington Post interview, leaving his exact stance on that project ambiguous.
- The episode underscores wider industry questions about authorship, disclosure and limits of generative AI and could increase pressure for clearer credits or standards for using AI in film, fashion and games.
