AI Games
AI Games are a new breed of video game that use artificial intelligence to create characters and environments that are both more lifelike and entertaining. The technology is evolving rapidly, and it has the potential to revolutionize gaming.
The majority of AI in video games is basic pathing algorithms and State Machines that determine how NPC’s will move around the world, what actions they’ll take when you interact with them, etc. This is because most studios want to spend their resources on rendering and gameplay, so they need an affordable, predictable, consistent AI.
This year, Nvidia invited luxury111 industry members and press into a hotel room during GDC to see its latest GPU rigs powered by Deep Learning In-Game (DIG). The company demonstrated how it could enable a game to learn and adapt over time, allowing players to experience an ever-changing world that grows with them.
From Chess to Fortnite: The Evolution of AI in Games
Generative AI is a more sophisticated form of AI that uses data to create unique, custom-built games. This type of AI analyzes gamers’ abilities and preferences to create a personalized gaming experience, which will keep them engaged and prevent them from getting bored or frustrated as they progress through the game.
A Brooklyn-based startup called Hidden Door is using generative AI to create role-playing text adventures that players can steer by free-typing into text boxes. The game is like a modern successor to the classic ELIZA AI, which used natural language processing to mimic the interaction between a patient and Rogerian therapist. The developers of the game say it is a fun way to explore the ethical questions that might arise when AI is fully integrated into gaming.…
