Artificial Intelligence, Games, Metaverse and the Future of Civilization

This is my talk from Gamescom Congress in 2023: the topic is the use of generative AI in game development -- but the context is much broader. This is about the next stage of human civilization, where our minds and our creativity are extended through the use of AI tools and agents. My talk is not only about creativity, but empowerment: tools that act upon our goals and reflect our individuality.

This is a somewhat condensed and updated version of a lecture I presented at the MIT Media Lab course on Metaverse (MAS.S61).

Really great talk. Hadn't come across anyone pull all these capabilities into one compelling narrative. Missed Gamescom but glad you put it up here
