Despite Child Safety Practices Lawsuits, Roblox Doubles Down On AI

Roblox is doubling down on artificial intelligence even as lawsuits over child safety practices gain traction. At its developer conferences, the company revealed it has 400 AI models in production, including 4D Objects for scripted assets, text-to-speech, translation, Avatar Auto-Setup, and an AI-powered Assistant in Roblox Studio. While financial details were not disclosed, Roblox’s stock has tripled over the past year, highlighting investor confidence. The company frames AI as a way to ease workloads for users and developers, though creating and maintaining such tools requires significant internal resources and energy. Critics argue that the focus is misplaced, given Roblox’s child safety controversies, and warn of risks such as energy waste, job loss, and weak enforcement of safety protections.
