AI is quickly becoming a part of our everyday lives, and in some cases it already is! Imagine just 15 years ago speaking to your TV to pull up Netflix with Alexa, or adding to your Amazon cart with the same helpful AI system. It’s safe to say it’s come a long way in a short amount of time. But gamers have always welcomed its help, especially when it comes to pioneering experiences such as VR, as well as within the story of a game with non player characters (NPCs). These crucial characters have always ushered us into a variety of interesting worlds, and given us information vital to completing quests. But what if AI was more heavily involved, and NPCs could interact with players on an almost human-like level?
Needless to say, that would be interesting and make games infinitely more diverse. If this sounds like something you’d like to experience, consider getting these top AI games available on Steam right now.
