GDC 2024
AI Summit: Modularize Your AI Tools to Create Behavior Instead of Code

In our talk for the AI Summit at GDC 2024, Sam Fay-Hunt, Game AI Developer at Kythera AI, demonstrates a framework to modularize game AI concepts into compartmentalized, reusable components. Attendees will learn how to build reusable modular components representing common Game AI concepts and how to apply these concepts to augment existing behavior authoring tools, such as Behavior Trees in order to simplify the expression of the complex factors influencing behavior.
We turned this talk into a Whitepaper so that anyone can use this framework to build efficient AI systems that adapt to any game. Get your copy now!
