Statista estimates that as of March, 22% of U.S. adults ages 20 to 29 spent six to 10 hours per week playing video games. Of this age group, 8% were heavy gamers, playing video games more than 20 hours a week on average.<\/p>\n<p>However, xAI is also looking for more specialized knowledge beyond hands-on experience. The startup is asking candidates to present a portfolio showcasing game design, \u201cstrong skills in gameplay critique,\u201d and the ability to test and evaluate AI-created video games.<\/p>\n<p>The role doesn\u2019t require a Bachelor\u2019s degree or any other accreditation, but does ask for \u201cdemonstrated high proficiency\u201d in fields such as computer science and game design. It\u2019s based in Palo Alto, California, or fully remote, though the job description cautions that \u201cremote positions require strong self-motivation.\u201d Musk has previously called working from home \u201cmorally wrong\u201d and ended the practice at Tesla and SpaceX.<\/p>\n<p>Musk wrote that he was interested in developing video games with AI last year. In a post on X in November 2024, Musk said that there were \u201ctoo many game studios owned by massive corporations.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cxAI is going to start an AI game studio to make games great again!\u201d he wrote at the time.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Statista predicts that global revenue for the gaming category will reach $522 billion this year, more than both the entertainment and music industries combined. The majority of revenue is expected to come from the U.S., with an estimated $141 billion this year.<\/p>\n<p>surpass $600 billion\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"piano-meter-body tw:hidden\">\n<div class=\"is-layout-flow tw:prose tw:prose-lg tw:prose-blue tw:font-serif tw:max-w-[728px] tw:mb-12  tw:mx-auto tw:lg:mx-0\">\n<div>\n<h2 class=\"tw:mt-0 tw:mb-1 tw:font-sans tw:text-2xl\">Key Takeaways<\/h2>\n<ul class=\"tw:font-semibold tw:font-sans tw:text-base tw:marker:text-blue-600\">\n<li>Elon Musk\u2019s xAI is looking for an AI Video Games Tutor to help the startup expand into AI video game development. <\/li>\n<li>The role requires a portfolio showcasing knowledge of game design, plus experience playing and critiquing video games. <\/li>\n<li>The global gaming industry is expected to reach $522 billion in revenue this year, more than the film and music industries combined. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<p>Elon Musk just confirmed that his AI startup, xAI, is exploring video game development.<\/p>\n<p>The company posted a new opening for a full-time \u201cVideo Games Tutor\u201d to train its AI chatbot, Grok \u2014 and it pays $45 to $100 an hour, the equivalent of $93,600 to $208,000 annually.<\/p>\n<p>The position will train Grok to generate \u201cfun, innovative video games\u201d for users and provide labels, feedback and input on gaming projects, according to the posting.
