Summary:The article discusses the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on video games. AI in modern gaming has come to mean the broad range of techniques including generating the behavior of non-player characters, teammates, and anything else that acts in the game with simulated intelligence. Analysts say each new generation of games has larger and more detailed environments controlled by AI. For game developers maintaining the same level of AI behavior poses a challenge. Experts say trends in AI will lean towards automated planning and inductive and reinforcement machine learning.
