The Ever Increasing Importance of AI in Games

An article on artificial intelligence (AI) in games in the March edition of the International Games Magazine featured an interview with xaitment’s group CEO, Dr. Andreas Gerber. The article is titled AI, Your Foe and Ally, Artificial Intelligence in video games: Challenges and limitations.

“(From IGM 03/10) For decades, computer opponents have annoyed us with predictable and sometimes even absurd actions. Today, however, pixel people are slowly starting to show some unpredictability. Artificial intelligence is making sure that video games become more exciting and find larger audiences.”

The article highlights the role of AI in games and the strengthening trend of moving from a focus on graphics to the increasing importance of AI, which the article describes as representing “the inner qualities of a game”. Toward the end of the article, it was remarked that “…AI is being included in almost all reviews and is also included in the overall rating.” A fact that not only reinforces the position of xaitment’s AI game tools in the games industry but also supports the increasing overall expectation for powerful AI in games.
