How video games help improve real-world AI

Take, for example, Artur Filipowicz, an AI researcher at Princeton University who's been trying to develop software for autonomous vehicles.

Privately funded organization OpenAI has taken the world of video game-based AI development to new levels, with a piece of software it calls Universe. The future of video games in AI development is rich with potential, and we're just starting to explore its full capabilities.
