Artificial Intelligence (AI), Video Games, Game Design, Player Experience, Immersion, Ethical ConcernsAbstract
The article will discuss how artificial intelligence, increasingly used in the video game industry, has enhanced the process of game design and given players different ways to find entertainment. This is done in an effort to analyze the improvement AI has brought to this field in terms of realism, immersion, and personalization, but also discussing some ethical concerns regarding its implementation. Based on a literature review, case studies, and survey data from gamers, the research discusses how AI applications enable innovative game mechanics, character behaviors, and narrative generation. Main arguments, developed in the article, demonstrate how AI can change players’ interactions by making game environments constantly changeable and adaptive. The article points out the various criticisms associated with AI: the presence of biases in algorithms and the over-reliance on automated systems. It identifies the possible future trends, with further explorations that emphasize the need for ethical consideration in the development of games using AI. This article contributes to an understanding of the role and contribution of AI in shaping the future of video games by providing an insight into a number of key issues which developers and researchers ought to consider.
