discuss The State of AI in Gaming: Opportunities and Risk

[Unvarnished]

Artificial intelligence continues to make a big difference in the gaming industry in quite an impressive manner. There are NPCs created with the help of AI. The concern is that AI produced content might replace human developers hence reducing creativity. There is also a problem of as player’s data privacy and protection as far as AI content is concerned.

AI presents opportunities into creating more engaging narratives and inclusive interactive entertainment for persons with disabilities.

What do you make of this?

The concern is that AI produced content might replace human developers hence reducing creativity.

I think there will still have to be a human involved in order to cage the AI into the theme of the game.

Imagine it given free rein on an LLM and you ask it where the store is. It could give you any number of answers from 1428 1st Street, San Diego, California to In the center of Paris. However, someone that's human has to tell the model that the store is located at X,Y,Z on the map as that is new knowledge that the AI possibly couldn't know. Then, it would try to understand how a character could get there with the routes available, or guess if you're not restricted to a route to walk there, and proceed to give the instructions on how to get to the store. So, where one job is lost, another job is gained.

I love AI-driven NPCs because they make games feel alive. AI can help make games more realistic and convincing enough but we need to know that maintaining balance is neccessary. AI is meant to complement human creativity, not to replace it.

I have played games like Horizon Zero Dawn & Sea of Thieves. They showcase AI's potential. Of course there are risks involved but the developers making games with AI can make it safer by being more open with their designs and letting players know how their games are designed.

Introduction or AI and widespread of AI usage in the game development has created games to be more challenging, they can not predict your next move and pose even more challenging situation before you. This has made games harder to play.

AI in gaming enables games to become more informative and to further make the games to become even more challenging to play. It also makes the game realistic. A game should always be challenging but not frustrating so as to excite the gamers.

Data exploitation is an issue with AI. The government should establish mechanism for ensuring developers are more transparent about data collection and usage.

Data exploitation is an issue with AI. The government should establish mechanism for ensuring developers are more transparent about data collection and usage.

One of the greatest risks of AI in gaming is the fact that data is used. That is why transparency and regulation are very crucial so as not to misuse user's data. Independent agencies as well as the government should outline specific rules and processes through which developers will be held responsible for the kind of data they are collecting or using.

I don't think it's a risk, I think it will be a great advance for video games, since it will help a lot to develop games and correct those problems that it seems that humans cannot correct.

AI can surely spark a positive change in the gaming industry especially whenever it comes to game programming as it can be easily automated. It can also enhance the realism in the game.
