Show Notes
It's more common to ask what AI can to do to win at games, but it's less common to ask what games can do to help develop AI. This is a particularly fitting topic after Google's DeepMind's defeat of Go, and in this episode we talk with New York University's Julian Togelius about his research in how games can help us develop AI. We discuss how simple AI has been used in more common video games; the 'smoke and mirrors' effect that is more often used to mimic AI; and the more innovative ways that AI are being used in gaming at present, setting precedents for the future role of AI in gaming.
