Digital Culture & AudioVisual Challenges

(18.00-19.00)

Chair: Michail Panagopoulos, Ionian University, Greece

Games have been a core driving force for the revolution of AI which, in turn, has reframed our culture, and reshaped our society at large. While games have been assisting AI since its birth it is only very recently that we experience a strong inverse relationship: AI nowadays designs exciting games for us to play and experience, and for AI to advance further. While games are arguably one of the last frontiers for AI, AI is also the next great leap forward for games. The talk will take us through a number of AI and Games projects currently running at the Institute of Digital Games, University of Malta and modl.ai.
