How AI will completely change video games

AI in video games is very different than the AI in self-driving cars, smart home devices, and natural language algorithms. That’s because game developers have been sticking to the basics, but all that is starting to change. Researchers today are incorporating more cutting-edge AI advancements into games. In the future, these tools could result in games designing themselves with characters that can learn and adapt to the player.

Has anything weird or unexpected happened to you while playing a video game?

[JustinAnsako]

So In the future, the game will play me.

"procedural generation, recently popularized by No Man's Sky"

Minecraft: am I a joke to you?

[DerDudelino]

Very smart way of using low-quality skype footage on the Nintendo Switch screen. I like that.

Guys. Not everything digital is AI.
That stuff in Zelda is just game physics.
For example the apple: that's just a of clause.
If heat<100: replace with baked apple.
Same goes for the ballons: if the balloons can generate enough pull to pull up the boat, the boat will fly.
It's literally just physics programmed into a game. It has nothing to do with AI.

What happens when every character in red dead redemption remembers all of my crimes ? WESTWORLD.

You know which game will benefit from AI? Civilization!

I want a game with deep learning ai where im thrown into a city and have to litterally find a job and basically survive but all the npcs are learning extremely smart ai. Basically i wish ai in games could think for themselves without pre programed moves. Just add borders/parameters and let the ai decide the rest

[GiffysChannel]

I like unpredictability in games myself. I also love being part of an early access game where the dev's add and try new things. It would be cool to see an AI in a game like that where the players are part of the teaching process as the Devs are. Also, AI could be useful for keeping online servers populated too.

i think AI can also drastically decrease AAA games cost

[voodoodoll]

I want see a game in you must cooperate with a intelligent ia to win together
That could be great I think

[kali]

This could help future indie devs to make more complex games with less cost and time. While giving giant companies more freedom to focus on other areas and maybe release games faster.

[Cghost-fhhf]

They at least could make partially neural network trained AI for bots to teach them to avoid going into walls and obvious stupid things. Lets be honest, single player games are lacking AI that could show some common sence and could surprise a player.

Wow imagine Rockstar using AI to map cities like Chicago or Miami streets to make gta 6 and we get an almost realistic map of vice city or Las Venturas or even San ferrio. My God... I'm super psyched for that. I hope one day they use it to make a remake of True crime streets of L.A. I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE FUTURE OF OPEN WORLD GAMES WITH HUGE MAPS.

[jaredf]

I would like to see an updated video, AI has advanced A LOT in the past 2.5 years.

[Enceos]

I want a deep learning AI control enemies in some games. Fighting against an enemy who has a predictable pattern gets boring too soon.

[fictionverse]

Real ai in games would be great because you can’t predict what they can do and seeing how they act in the world is intriguing

[vedarovski]

As an engineer and a video game developer, I hate that this two different things have the same name "ai". I think we should separate them as "bot" and "ai". Which "bot" is the unintelligent one and "ai" is the intelligent one. Most of the games already call them bots after all.




Note: Last sentence may seem like a diss or smth but bots are literally scripts that does what we tell them to do, exactly. AI does what you want to achieve but uses its own technics and tactics to do so. So, it has literal intelligence.

[georgechristoforou]

As AI improves in games, we start to realise that real life intelligence needs an upgrade too.

Me : playing StarCraft 2 'started building some units'
AI : 'with large army near my base that I can't see ' I am here in the shadows
