Abstract

This paper details multiple areas in which artificial intelligence and video games interact, discusses how these fields can continue to grow together, and highlights some of the other fields that benefit by the combination. Artificial intelligence has a positive effect, not just on video games, but can be used in combination for the benefit of such fields as education, military, healthcare, and aerospace by use of simulations. In turn, video games foster an environment for which artificial intelligence can grow, be that a competition to create the best artificial intelligence player, the use of artificially intelligent characters in video games, or the production of video games.
