Background on the Partnership

COLOPL is driven by the mission of "Entertainment in Real Life – Making Everyday Life More Enjoyable and Wonderful Through Entertainment". With cutting-edge technology and innovative ideas, we continuously strive to create “new experiences” to redefine entertainment.

In recent years, technological advancements have progressed at an unprecedented pace and the rapid evolution of AI technology has brought transformative changes across industries. In the gaming sector, AI is increasingly recognized as a key driver for enhancing development efficiency and expanding the possibilities for new forms of expression.

By forming a partnership with Stability AI, the provider of the image generation AI model Stable Diffusion, COLOPL aims to accelerate the creation of innovative experiences and enhance productivity, aligning with our pursuit of delivering groundbreaking entertainment.

Comment from Scott Trowbridge, VP of Stability AI

“We are thrilled to partner with Colopl, a company at the forefront of innovation in the gaming industry. At Stability AI, our mission is to empower creators and developers with cutting-edge generative AI models like Stable Diffusion. This partnership highlights the transformative potential of AI in gaming, and we eagerly anticipate seeing how Colopl will leverage these technologies to deliver unparalleled gaming experiences.”

Comments from Executive Director of COLOPL, Kenta Sugai

We are excited about the potential to unlock new possibilities in game development by leveraging Stability AI's state-of-the-art image generation AI technology. Through this partnership, COLOPL is committed to delivering more creative and innovative gaming experiences to our users.

Establishment of Generative AI Guidelines

Generative AI technologies, including image generation, involve various risks such as legal, ethical concerns as well as copyright infringement. To address these issues and provide employees with a secure environment for utilizing generative AI, we have established internal guidelines called "General AI Usage Guidelines for Image Creation."

By implementing these guidelines, we aim to enhance the creativity and productivity of creators while also improving employees' literacy in the responsible use of such technologies.

Moving forward, COLOPL will continue to actively leverage cutting-edge technologies to deliver "new experiences" that have yet to exist in the world.
