The Potential of Artificial Intelligence | Sacred Symbols+ Episode 132

Please welcome Kirill Demochkin to the show. Kirill works on content generation and photo editing at Samsung's AI Center in Moscow, and he's come to Sacred Symbols+ to talk about some of the many ways artificial intelligence is infiltrating gaming. There's generative text, of course, and lip syncing, too. (Did you know Horizon's lip syncing was done by AI?) There's dynamic lighting and ray tracing, single player design assisted by deep learning, online matchmaking, difficulty settings and economy management, and even the basics of art and design. In short: AI is currently changing video games forever, and it's far more than just enemy design, which is what "AI" has always meant in our industry. Well, no longer. Now it's an entire discipline every player should familiarize him-or-herself with. Allow this podcast to be the very first step.
