From navigation systems to smart cars and from virtual assistants to augmented reality (AR) applications on our smartphones, nearly every software and device we use features AI under the hood. Video games make no exception.

The more we go on, the more AI is present in game applications in the form of non-player character (NPC) , simulations, and more recently AR applications aiming to enhance the user experience.
