How video games are changing AI - KDR Recruitment

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is some of the most talked about technology of the future, people are wondering where it is going, how it can be used and what impact it is going to have on our lives. But the development of AI has been going on for years, especially when we look at video games. The mass development and growth of AI can be attributed to the gaming industry, as they have been using this technology for years, and developers have been learning from it. In America an AI researcher used the artificial intelligence in the video game'Grand Theft Auto' to teach the AI in self-driving cars to understand stop signs. As the game produced different versions of stop signs in different situations, e.g. in fog, rain or sun, he was able to teach the algorithm in his AI how to recognise these signs when on the road.
