Frontier Developments has made the decision to eliminate generative AI technology from Jurassic World Evolution 3 after facing significant player backlash. The studio confirmed the change in response to community discussions on Steam, stating it would no longer use AI-generated scientist portraits in the upcoming title.
The controversy began when players noticed an AI disclosure statement on the game’s Steam page shortly after its reveal at Summer Game Fest. Many voiced concerns over the ethical implications of AI-generated content, prompting Frontier to reconsider its approach. This move highlights the growing scrutiny surrounding AI in game development, as studios balance innovation with player expectations.
