Game playing is a common technique used in artificial intelligence that involves pitting computer algorithms against human experts or other players. It has been a focus since the early days of AI and provides a visible test of computer skills. Game playing is used in computer and video games to simulate intelligent behavior by non-player characters through techniques from fields like computer science, graphics, and animation. The goals of AI in games are to provide both a reasonable challenge and natural behavior without cheating, through means such as vehicles that drive faster or characters with more health. Games can involve perfect or imperfect information for players.
In this course concepts and requirements of the video game development will be taught. Students will get familiar to the fundamentals of the game industry and finally put all the learned stuff together to work on a small game project.
This seminar slide will give you the ideas how much the ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE is important gaming and what hard work should do for movements of other persons in a game.
The minor project was about the deployment of a simple endless runner game made in Unity 3d. The project would provide the basic understanding about the algorithms that should be used to make a game of this type.

Introduction to Game Development and the Game IndustryNataly Eliyahu
Talk about games and the game industry at She Codes meeting at the Weizmann Institute of Science.
Basic introduction to the game industry and what to learn to get into game programming.
Game Development is the art of creating games and describes the design, development and release of a game. It may involve concept generation, design, build, test and release. While you create a game, it is important to think about the game mechanics, rewards, player engagement and level design.
There’s a rise in demand for professionals in the field, game development jobs beat any typical 9-5 work, and there are plenty of exciting roles available. You will not only create games but can be immersed in the world of gaming – all in a day at work.
Dive in and learn all about game development!

Workshop with Carolyn Chandler and Jason Ulaszek. Experience design and game design have a lot in common, and the two worlds continue to come together. It's no wonder - we've all been playing games for millenia, to learn and grow or to get through tough challenges. So how can you incorporate the positive aspects of a game into the experiences you're designing for your customers? Learn more about basic game mechanics, and how they've been used to motivate learning, promote action, and prepare players (like your users) for complex scenarios.
Talk given May 11, 2012 at Enriching Scholarship 2012, University of Michigan.
This session will focus on leveraging social media and online gaming to attract more women and other underrepresented groups to engineering professions. The slides contains examples from a Facebook game underdevelopment to illustrate how engineering educators can expose new audiences of potential students to professional engineering skills like leadership, teamwork, and project management.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.
