AI is Transforming Videogames

Bi-weekly news commentary

Hello friend,

How are you? I hope you’re having a nice summer😎

The gist:

Picture this sometime soon.

Producing a video game has become a matter of using prompts to bring to life intricate visual landscapes, characters, and multi-storyline tracks - tasks that would have taken hundreds of hours earlier. Once the video game is ready, instead of human testers, AI agents run endless tests to optimize gameplay at a fraction of the cost and time. Add to that AGI, and future gamers will interact not with yesteryear animated characters with limited plot directions, but with sentient AI characters that can do, know, think, and feel like humans with unpredictable plot lines. Welcome to the new phase in AI-powered video games. The ultimate frontier in visual storytelling. If you recall, I’ve recently covered a similar impact of AI on the animation industry—passive vs. active interaction.

Find out why this is an important phase packed with benefits, ethical implications, and what simple steps you can take today.
