Season 1 Teaser Trailer: Exploring Artificial Intelligence in Video Games

If you're struggling to figure out where AI fits into your game development process, you're not alone. The theme that emerged across a variety of conversations about artificial intelligence in Season 1 of this series is nuanced: there is no right answer. The cat's out of the bag and most game development companies will be looking at some form of AI use, but there is a clear sense that the use of generative AI for player-facing content is problematic. Tune in this season to explore the nuance and come to your own conclusions.
