Some people might not know that video games are an essential part of AI research. The first AI implemented in video games was the digital game Nim, published in 1952, precisely 20 years before Pong. Back then, AI was capable of beating advanced players.
Flash forward to early 2023, and the release of ChatGPT took the world by storm. Now, every company wants a piece of the AI pie, developing their own AI or even implementing AI into certain tools, like photo editing or writing. Also, newer AI can be designed to create the most innovative and advanced AI in video games, specifically NPCs. This can make NPCs feel like real-life human beings or living things, making video games more interactive and immersive.
