Hideo Kojima has reiterated his stance on artificial intelligence, calling it a tool rather than a creator. The comments follow backlash over an AI-generated promotional video for the Satellites II exhibition. Kojima stated he does not believe AI will create meaningful art within his lifetime.

Kojima spoke at the Satellites II exhibition.

The Satellites II exhibition is a collaboration with filmmaker Nicolas Winding Refn for Prada Mode New York. Kojima Productions is the vendor behind the event. The AI-generated film was created specifically for this exhibition.

Kojima described AI as a 'janitor for creative chores' that handles repetitive tasks. He emphasized that humans remain responsible for ideas. 'Art is life,' Kojima said. 'But in 50 years, 100 years, I don't know. Maybe AI could create art, but while I live, I don't think I'll see it. I'm not interested in it.'

The exhibition is part of Prada Mode, a cultural event series. Kojima's remarks were reported by The Washington Post and Kotaku. The controversy arose after the AI-generated promo featured Kojima's likeness.

Kojima's position distinguishes his view from those who see AI as a potential creative force. He maintains that AI can assist with chores but not originate art. The statement reinforces his long-held skepticism about machine creativity.
