In recent years, as dramatic increases in graphic sophistication began yielding diminishing returns, the technical focus in game design has been turning towards Artificial Intelligence (AI). While game AI might be considered a “purely technical” phenomenon not of interest to game designers and theorists, this paper argues that AI-based art and entertainment constitutes a new interdisciplinary a...

The growth of e-learning, and subsequently, of blended learning in recent years in response to the global demand for increased productivity in education and training has been astounding! While the commercial response, including that of universities, to this rapid increase in demand and to the associated potential of communications technologies to provide global access has been impressive, signi...

Artificial intelligence (AI) initially aimed at creating “thinking machines,” that is, computer systems having human level general intelligence. However, AI research has until recently focused on creating intelligent, but highly domain-specific, systems. Currently, researchers are again undertaking the original challenge of creating AI systems (agents) capable of human-level intelligence, or “a...

The goal of getting computers to automatically solve problems is central to artificial intelligence, machine learning, and the broad area encompassed by what Turing called “machine intelligence” (Turing, 1948, 1950). In his talk entitled AI: Where It Has Been and Where It Is Going, machine learning pioneer Arthur Samuel stated the main goal of the fields of machine learning and artificial intel...

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has always tried to emulate the greatest virtue of humans: their intelligence. However, although there have been many efforts to reach this goal, at a glance we notice that the intelligence of AI systems barely resembles that of humans. Today, available methods that assess AI systems are focused on using empirical techniques to measure the performance of algorithms ...

Alan Turing proposed the imitation game in his 1950 paper titled “Computing Machinery and Intelligence” [1]. This paper discussed the arguments for and against artificial intelligence that existed then. Since this time, science has advanced in areas of neuroscience, machine learning, and computer theory granting us a different perspective on the argument. This paper discusses the history of Art...

12 AI MAGAZINE ■ This special issue is based on the premise that in order to achieve human-level artificial intelligence researchers will have to find ways to integrate insights from multiple computational frameworks and to exploit insights from other fields that study intelligence. Articles in this issue describe recent approaches for integrating algorithms and data structures from diverse sub...

Building Artificial Intelligence (AI) that can successfully interact with the physical world in a comprehensive and human-like way is a big challenge. Physics simulation games, i.e., video games where the game world simulates real-world physics, offer a simplified and controlled environment for developing J. Renz (*) • X.

In this chapter, we consider the possibilities of creating new and innovative games that are targeted for mobile devices, such as smart phones and tablets, and that showcase AI (Artificial Intelligence) and CI (Computational Intelligence) approaches. Such games might take advantage of the sensors and facilities that are not available on other platforms, or might simply rely on the “app culture”...
