Among all the technologies that have been flourishing in the last decade, there is one that is becoming essential for our society and it’s enhancing all the other tech fields as well as every aspect of our life: Artificial Intelligence (AI). 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. Machine learning algorithms are starting to be a common solution to enhance graphics and animations or even implement new gameplay features.
