The impact of artificial intelligence on current and future society is undeniable. In recent weeks, this technology has been making headlines due to its impact and possibilities. In addition to the popularity of ChatGPT, the AI that is the protagonist of all the debates, other options such as DALL-E or Microsoft’s particular bet have managed to bring artificial intelligence to corners of the world. As a result, events such as the first festival of video games and films made by AI are already a reality.
As reported by the portal GamesBeat, the first Artificial Intelligence Games and Film Festival will take place in San Francisco on May 9. However, before that, the AI Games Hackathon, an event starring video games and demos produced with artificial intelligence, will be held for the first time on March 23. In it, those who can show titles generated with AI will have the chance to win up to $10,000 in prizes, a figure to which all those who use this technology as a vital tool in their creations will have access.
Among the candidates, GamesBeat mentions proposals such as Tales of Syn, an RPG similar to the classic Fallout 2 that will use AI to enhance dialogues and will delve into the division between classes in a future era on Earth. In addition, he also mentions other titles such as Origins, based on the relationship between humans and robots, or Echoes of Somewhere, a classic adventure in 2.5D that will allow players to take advantage of the virtues of artificial intelligence. Undoubtedly, this Hackathon is an excellent opportunity for those capable of using AI as a key tool in the development of video games.
The May 9 festival will also focus on films generated with this technology. As detailed by the portal, in the last 12 months more than 515 million euros have been invested in the creation of photography, cinema and video games with artificial intelligence. Thus, the objective of the organizers of the event is to give visibility to this investment and, at the same time, to show the virtues of the same. With this, they hope that in the next few years 1 of the 20 best games and 1 of the 20 best movies will be generated by artificial intelligence. They also mention examples such as White Mirror, an anthology of short films focused on the relationship between man and machine, and figures such as Robert Zemeckis, Tom Hanks and Robin Wright.
