Artificial Intelligence Video Games

What Is Artificial Intelligence Video Games

Artificial intelligence (AI) is used in video games to develop responsive, adaptive, or intelligent behaviors, primarily in non-player characters (NPCs), that are akin to the intellect of humans. Since the beginning of the video game industry in the 1950s, artificial intelligence has been an essential component of the medium. Artificial intelligence (AI) in video games is a discrete topic that is distinct from AI in academic settings. Rather than serving the purposes of machine learning or decision making, it is designed to enhance the experience of game players. The concept of artificial intelligence (AI) opponents became very popular during the golden age of arcade video games. This concept manifested itself in the form of graduated difficulty levels, distinct movement patterns, and in-game events that were reliant on the player's input. The behavior of non-player characters (NPCs) in modern games is frequently governed by tried-and-true methods such as pathfinding and decision trees. Data mining and procedural content production are two examples of AI applications that are frequently utilized in methods that are not immediately obvious to the user.
