AI in Human-computer Gaming: Techniques, Challenges and Opportunities

Abstract

With the breakthrough of AlphaGo, human-computer gaming AI has ushered in a big explosion, attracting more and more researchers all over the world. As a recognized standard for testing artificial intelligence, various human-computer gaming AI systems (AIs) have been developed, such as Libratus, OpenAI Five, and AlphaStar, which beat professional human players. The rapid development of human-computer gaming AIs indicates a big step for decision-making intelligence, and it seems that current techniques can handle very complex human-computer games. So, one natural question arises: What are the possible challenges of current techniques in human-computer gaming and what are the future trends? To answer the above question, in this paper, we survey recent successful game AIs, covering board game AIs, card game AIs, first-person shooting game AIs, and real-time strategy game AIs. Through this survey, we 1) compare the main difficulties among different kinds of games and the corresponding techniques utilized for achieving professional human-level AIs; 2) summarize the mainstream frameworks and techniques that can be properly relied on for developing AIs for complex human-computer games; 3) raise the challenges or drawbacks of current techniques in the successful AIs; and 4) try to point out future trends in human-computer gaming AIs. Finally, we hope that this brief review can provide an introduction for beginners and inspire insight for researchers in the field of AI in human-computer gaming.

Role of AI Chatbots in Revolutionizing Gaming Experiences - A Survey

“…This perspective aligns with Zhai's (2023) exploration of ChatGPT's potential to revolutionize education through personalized, dynamic interactions [4]. However, Yin and his team (2023), after testing different Artificial Intelligence-based games, caution about technical hurdles, including computational demands and API accessibility, which must be addressed for these dynamic dialogues to flourish [7]. Kyzyrov and Sapakova (2023) showcase the diverse functionalities of AI chatbots, emphasizing their potential to power various narrative experiences within games [8].…”

“…OpenAI API docu-mentation [13] showcases that the ChatGPT chatbot can be easily implemented in any software program. In his research, Yin (2023) discusses a similar method that developers can use to place AI chatbots in their games [14]. Similar research on utilizing the ChatGPT AI chatbot is done by M. Charfeddine where they analyze the security risks of this software tool as well [15].…”

Distributed Deep Reinforcement Learning: A Survey and a Multi-player Multi-agent Learning Toolbox

“…Several important topics such as asynchronous stochastic optimization, distributed system architectures and communication schemes are discussed, providing clues for future directions of distributed deep learning. Currently, distributed learning is widely used in various fields, such as wireless networks [25] , AIoT service platforms [26] and human-computer gaming [27] .…”

Role of Artificial Intelligence in Enhancing Metaverse Gaming Experience and Human Interaction

“…However, the focus is on advertising through live entertainment, presenting a unique opportunity to integrate intelligent systems. Companies like NVIDIA have developed DL super sampling technology for better gaming and visual integration (Yin et al, 2023). As examined by Lyu (2023), in the fiction novel "Snow Crash" by Neal Stephenson, the concept of Metaverse originated in 1992.…”
