Star Wars legend George Lucas recently made an appearance at the Association for Computing Machinery's Special Interest Group where he made a speech on the importance of AI in games. The producer stressed the importance of speech recognition in order to really draw gamers into a more immersive experience while gaming.to a point where you can talk to a game and it will talk back
Lucas said.Hoping for a graduate degree in AI myself, I hope more people in the industry start to agree with him, so that I might have a nice video game job out of college. Personal bias aside, how would you rank the importance of AI in games today? How much more would like to see? Or, if none of those, what is your funniest experience with bad AI (i.e. a bot that ran straight into a corner and never left)?
