Original: AI is a hot topic these days around the world, and Nintendo is no stranger to those discussions. The company has been asked for its thoughts previously and has expressed some skepticism.

That news comes from Satoshi Asano, who serves on the House of Representatives with the Democratic Party for the People in Japan. Nintendo is only a small part of his lengthy media post, but Asano claims the company “avoids using generative AI to protect its IP and is also engaging in lobbying activities with the government.”

When asked by Japanese magazine Famitsu how Bandai Namco ended up working on Everybody’s Golf, which was originally a PlayStation-published series, producer Tomokazu Fukazawa said:
