The computer games industry has been a part of Andrew Maximov's life for 12 years and despite all of this experience, he still marvels at how much money it costs to build some of the biggest games of all time. According to him, artificial intelligence (AI) will be crucial to reducing the soaring cost of video game production and saving video game designers precious time by automating repetitive tasks.
In addition to providing developers with a set of tools to construct their virtual worlds, Promethean AI offers developers an array of tools. To disrupt the way games are produced today, Mr Maximov hopes to make a tremendous impact.
Likely, humans will still play a crucial role in the production process. In the future, artificial intelligence will allow humans to be more creative.
Californian software company Inworld is also using artificial intelligence to create computer games. This company has developed a game engine that is designed to enhance the realism and emotional depth of game worlds and characters by using the engine. Additionally, the firm is developing a narrative graph that it has partnered with Microsoft, which will make it easier for storytellers to build their characters, which will utilize artificial intelligence.
In an interview with the BBC, chief executive Kylan Gibbs stated his belief that artificial intelligence would allow developers to dream bigger than they ever had in the past. "In this engine, developers can use artificial intelligence agents that are capable of seeing, sensing, and understanding the world around them, as well as interacting with players and taking actions within the game. It opens up a whole new paradigm for storytelling and gameplay when users can infuse virtual characters with advanced cognitive abilities," he explains.
The chief executive of Latitude.io is Nick Walton, who believes artificial intelligence has the potential to personalize the gaming experience in several ways. During his time as CEO of his firm, he said that he was surprised by the huge success of AI Dungeon, a game that allowed players to create their own stories in a variety of worlds. He was pleasantly surprised by how successful the first version of Dungeon was.
