AI creates new levels for Doom

An artificial intelligence network has designed new levels for the original Doom video game. The technique could be used to create future video games, more quickly and less expensively, researchers said. The AI was "trained" to make new levels by showing it human-designed ones for the popular first-person shooter. There are large numbers of Doom levels - both official and player-created - freely available online, providing a rich vein of data. Doom was released in 1993 and is considered to be a major milestone in video games history.
