"If we might think in the future where we have AI helping us write certain kinds of code, the big problem with AI is you ask it to do something, ask to write a fragment of code that does something, it might give you a perfectly valid fragment of code that compiles but does the wrong thing. And if we had languages where you could say, “Write a function that sorts this array and prove that it did that,” it could actually write the proof. And if the compiler didn’t beep with it, you could trust that it was actually sorting the array. And otherwise you could go back to the AI and say, “Well, that didn’t work.” But getting to the point where we know that our programs do what we say they’re going to do or think they’re going to do is a very important thing."

"Yeah, there’s a lot happening here on screen. The real hero of this image isn’t Epic. It’s the artists and technical artists who work together to build this environment. Because the reason we showed it at GDC was it went way, way beyond what we realized the system was capable of doing, largely because of their brilliance. This is the magic of computer graphics. There’s not one feature that makes this cool. There’s a dozen technical features that each interplay, and because of the ways that they interplay with each other, you really don’t … It’s hard to actually identify the individual components of it."

"But I don’t see this reducing the need for people or the role of people. Rather, I think it actually is probably an enhancer on that. I can’t help but think when I go on Amazon and Netflix to watch a movie there’s an awful lot of linear content and most of it isn’t very good because of the limitations of the media and the budgets and of other things. If we can use AI as an enhancer on that, then everybody’s going to have even more opportunity than they have now. Every single technological revolution has changed the way that people work, but it’s ultimately created more opportunity for people. The pundits predicting that this might be the last, but I think just the opposite. I’m an optimist on this and an optimist that it’s going to create opportunity for everyone."
