Bungie announced plans to hire engineers to build internal tools that connect the studio's game development systems to generative AI models, as evidenced by a job posting for a Generative AI Lead Tools Engineer in late 2023.
Details
In October 2023, Bungie posted a job listing for a 'Generative AI Lead Tools Engineer' in its Central Technology organization. The role was described as partnering with area experts to 'drive the development of software that allows our tools and systems to interact with GenAI models' and to 'collaborate with artists, designers, engineers' to build generative AI solutions that improve development workflows. The listing was subsequently taken down. This hiring effort was reported alongside Bungie's expansion of its Machine Learning team under Director Ryan Valenza. Whether the role was filled and whether resulting tools were deployed is not confirmed by available sources.

Data AnalysisBungie uses analytics to monitor gameplay for unusual patterns that may indicate cheating in Destiny 2 and Marathon, including a dedicated Data Scientist (Anti-Cheat) role that builds algorithms to detect anomalous player behavior.ProductivityBungie tested a pilot program using Microsoft Copilot to help engineers write code faster, running alongside BunGPT as one of three simultaneous generative AI experiments at the studio in early 2024. The pilot was described by then-CTO Luis Villegas at GDC 2024 as a way to explore whether AI-assisted coding could improve engineer productivity.
