The Future of Gaming NPCs with Generative AI in 2023.

Generative chatbots are helping game developers create more lifelike and realistic non-playable characters (NPCs) in video games. Game AI is about the illusion of intelligence, and generative AI systems are making it easier for developers to create believable human behavior. Ubisoft's Ghostwriter AI is one such system that generates short dialogue lines for NPCs, freeing up time for scriptwriters to focus on other core plot items. The value of generative AI in the gaming market is expected to grow from around $1.1 billion in 2023 to nearly $7.5 billion by 2032.
