Alex Nichiporchik, CEO of Hello Neighbor publisher TinyBuild, has raised eyebrows during a keynote in which he outlined potential uses of AI tools in the workplace, including the monitoring of employee Slack messages and meeting transcriptions to help identify “potential problematic players” – a discussion he has since insisted was “hypothetical”.
Nichiporchik (as reported by WhyNowGaming) was speaking at this week’s Develop: Brighton conference, in a talk titled ‘AI in Gamedev: Is My Job Safe?’ which promised an “in-depth [look] into how [TinyBuild] adopted AI in daily practices to exponentially increase efficiency”.
One part of the presentation in particular, focusing on “AI for HR”, has proved especially contentious since news of its contents began to spread around the internet. Here, Nichiporchik discussed how AI could be used by HR to spot burnout (later described as being synonymous with “toxicity”) among employees by first identifying “potential problematic team members” then collating and running their Slack messages and automatic transcriptions from the likes of Google Meet and Zoom through Chat GPT, in a process he terms “I, Me Analysis”.
