ROSA-BEIGER SALON in FÜNZIGZWANZIG
GAME TALK: Play, Create, Model: KI in Games
Lecture by Sebastian Frisch,
followed by a discussion with Sonja Prlić and Martin Löcker
Cooperation with “Obstacle”, a series of events organized by Fünzigzwanzig, curated by members of the board of Fünfzigzwanzig
AI and games: We explore the diverse aspects of the integration of artificial intelligence in the gaming world with Sebastian Frisch, project manager at the AI and XR research cluster of the media art institution V2_ in Rotterdam. From chatbot-controlled NPCs to procedural content and personalized gaming experiences, AI elements are already an integral part of contemporary games. But do we want to play with AI?
The questions: What are the challenges and opportunities for developers? What ethical concerns (AI bias) are there? To what extent can the use of AI even counteract the immersive effect of games? We will take a look at up-and-coming games, discuss a selection of research projects and try to define the current limits of these systems. The lecture will be followed by a discussion with Sonja Prlić and Martin Loecker.
