SUMMARY:The AI Adoption Gap: Bridging Strategy and Reality in Games Leaders
 hip
LOCATION:Studio B
DESCRIPTION:The game industry is now past the “wow” factor of generativ
 e AI\; we’ve all seen the demos. Now comes the hard part\, integration a
 t scale. For leadership\, the real hurdle isn’t picking a tool to adopt\
 , it’s navigating the organizational friction\, legal considerations\, c
 hanging monetization models\, and the shifting ROI that comes with moving 
 from a prototype pilot to a production-hardened workflow.\n\n\n\nThis roun
 dtable is a peer-to-peer deep dive designed for candid\, knowledge sharing
 . We are moving beyond the hype to discuss the “missing manual” of AI 
 leadership in games. We’ll focus on the actual challenges of breaking do
 wn barriers\, both technical and cultural to integrating AI\, and where st
 udios are adopting\, accelerating and finding the best usecases for the te
 chnology.\n\n\n\nSome of the topics we’ll cover include\;Operational Fri
 ction: The reality of upskilling teams and restructuring pipelines without
  losing studio culture.\n\n\n\nThe Global Delta: Discussing the divergence
  between Eastern and Western adoption\, comparing the impact of aggressive
 \, end-to-end AI pipelines of Asia’s gaming giants with the more cautiou
 s\, modular integration seen in Western studios.\n\n\n\nThe World Model Di
 sruption: Evaluating the shift from AI-assisted assets to AI-native enviro
 nments discussing the tactical impact of world models like DeepMind’s Ge
 nie and World Labs’ Marble on the future of game engines\, prototyping\,
  and the traditional “build vs. generate” production mandate.\n\n\n\nJ
 oin us for a collaborative session where the goal is to turn technological
  potential into a sustainable\, competitive reality. This is a forum for l
 eaders to share what’s actually working\, what has failed and why\, and 
 how to build a roadmap for the AI-augmented workflows of the future.\n\n\n
 \nXP Curated Expert Roundtables are available to Conference and VIP pass h
 olders.Limited capacity ensures focused discussion. Advance registration t
 hrough MeetToMatch is required and seats will fill quickly.\n\n\n\nThe XP 
 Round Table sessions are in Studio B and are 2 floors down on the lower le
