Researchers have developed a novel approach called Reward-Adaptive Iterative Discovery (RAID) to automate the testing of AI agents in video games. This method uses an iterative Reinforcement Learning (RL) approach to train multiple goal-scoring agents, aiming to discover diverse exploit strategies more efficiently than traditional RL methods. In a case study involving a development version of EA SPORTS NHL 26, RAID successfully identified six distinct scoring exploit strategies within a single experiment, mirroring the types of exploits found by human playtesters over much longer periods.
