AI is mass decompiling games, raising excitement and alarm

Original: AI is mass decompiling games. That's both awesome and scary

AI tools are increasingly being used to decompile video games, letting developers recover source code from compiled binaries far faster than manual reverse engineering. The practice promises better game preservation, modding and ports of older titles, but it also raises legal and ethical concerns around copyright and the decompiling of games without permission, prompting debate about where the line should be drawn.

Why now: Rapid AI progress has made large-scale game decompilation newly practical, sparking debate between preservation advocates and those worried about legal and creative consequences.
