AI Researchers, Video Games are your Friends!

چکیده
If you are an artificial intelligence researcher, you should look to video games as ideal testbeds for the work you do. If you are a video game developer, you should look to AI for the technology that makes completely new types of games possible. This chapter lays out the case for both of these propositions. It asks the question “what can video games do for AI”, and discusses how in particular general video game playing is the ideal testbed for artificial general intelligence research. It then asks the question “what can AI do for video games”, and lays out a vision for what video games might look like if we had significantly more advanced AI at our disposal. The chapter is based on my keynote at IJCCI 2015, and is written in an attempt to be accessible to a broad audience.

Influence maps combine together to form spatial decision
AI in computer games has been highlighted recently and the importance of game platforms that support the investigation of various kinds of AI techniques increases. In this paper, we developed a real-time simulation game called ‘Conqueror’ for providing with a better AI game platform to many AI researchers and applied it to produce a neural NPCs with layered influence maps. The layered influence...
متن کاملA Taxonomy of Video Games and AI
Game developers have always striven to create better and more complex games. The use of artificial intelligence (AI) in games is increasing in game development to this end. However there appears to be a mismatch of implications and expectations between game developers and AI researchers of what AI can bring to games, mostly due to differences of interpretation of the problems involved. To overc...
متن کاملVirtual Humans
Imagine a simulated world where the characters you interact with are almost human – they converse with you in English, they understand the world they are in, can reason about what to do, and they exhibit emotions. Some of these characters may be your friends, while others will oppose you. Unlike current video games, being successful in this world won’t just be a matter of who is quickest on the...
متن کاملAutomated terrain analysis in real-time strategy games
Real-time strategy (RTS) games represent a mainstream genre of video games. They are also practical test-beds for intelligent agents, which have received considerable interest from Artificial Intelligence (AI) researchers, in particular game AI researchers. Terrain knowledge understanding is a fundamental issue for RTS agents and map decomposition methods can help AI agents in representing terr...
متن کاملGeneral Video Game AI: a Multi-Track Framework for Evaluating Agents, Games and Content Generation Algorithms
General Video Game Playing (GVGP) aims at designing an agent that is capable of playing multiple video games with no human intervention. In 2014, The General Video Game AI (GVGAI) competition framework was created and released with the purpose of providing researchers a common open-source and easy to use platform for testing their AI methods with potentially infinity of games created using Vide...
