AI's expanding role in game development detailed in new paper

By PulseAugur Editorial · [2 sources] ·

A new paper titled "AI for Games in the Foundation Model Era" explores the expanding role of artificial intelligence across the entire game development lifecycle. The research categorizes AI applications into six key areas: playing games, modeling players and game dynamics, assisting in game design, aiding in game development and maintenance, adapting experiences at runtime, and evaluating game artifacts. While acknowledging the increasing interconnectedness of these roles, the paper highlights that capabilities and outputs often remain specific to particular games or engines, necessitating revalidation in new contexts.
