Application and Problems of AI in Game Development
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: The application of artificial intelligence (AI) in game development has significantly transformed the dynamics, interactivity, and personalized experiences of games. This paper explores the key applications of AI in game development, including procedural content generation (PCG), non-player character (NPC) behavior and control, as well as automated game testing and quality assurance. PCG enhances replayability and user engagement by automatically generating game content, such as levels and maps, through algorithms. AI-driven NPC behavior makes game characters more adaptive, intelligent, and lifelike, thereby enhancing player immersion. Automated testing utilizes machine learning algorithms to improve testing efficiency and game quality. Despite the numerous advantages that AI brings, there are also challenges related to ethics, technology, creativity, and economics. This paper discusses the potential benefits and challenges of AI in game development and emphasizes the importance of responsible and sustainable application of AI technologies.
