Artificial Intelligence already plays a huge part in games, and it’s role is poised to grow much further. On this page we will take a look at where we have been, where we are and where we go from here when machines get their game on…
Past
Games have existed long before computers, and therefore artificial intelligence. However, we have a tendency to try an teach computers how to play games, and then attempt to prove our superiority at them. There is an ongoing war in the world of chess and Jeopardy that has grabbed headlines, and it’s just the tip of the iceberg.
Present
AI Dungeon is a text based interactive adventure where you and possibly some friends create a world, fill it with characters and then create your own to play a game with a reactive AI that responds to your world and story.
Future
With the present living so far into the future it’s hard to imagine what tomorrow brings to the space where AI and games merge further. With Sony already filing patents for neural interfaces it’s sure to be a wild ride into a pixelated blue yonder.
