Artificial intelligence is in an interesting place in 2021. Developments in the field will likely represent the single largest technological advance in the coming decades, yet today we’ve seen only a miniscule portion of that revolution unfold. Whether or not you consider machine learning to strictly be AI, the acceleration in this field has game-changing ramifications.
We're already in the middle of this revolution. Videogames are uniquely positioned to take advantage of AI at almost every stage of their production. AI is already behind world-building tools for artists, voice filtering in multiplayer, more intelligent bots, image upscaling, and generating photorealistic graphics.
Of all the recent applications, one of the most interesting is the employment of publicly available AI tools in modding communities. These can help modders target core constraints like image quality with AI image enhancement, and voice acting with AI speech synthesis. Jonx0r, creator of the Wyrmstooth mod for Skyrim, thinks these abilities will not only help modders achieve technical parity with triple-A games, but also unleash a new wave of creativity.
