Current Aspects of Using Artificial Intelligence in Digital Games and Computer Graphics Content Control

The extraordinary size and influence of gaming industry on contemporary (digital) markets creates a vast pool of resources (material and abstract) that is constantly refilled and used in order to make modern digital games of all kinds and genres as attractive and performant as possible. A key component of almost every complex digital game that is developed today is its artificial intelligence module. Due to the variety of problems that can be and are solved by using artificial intelligence in digital games its functionality is practically essential. The paper describes the application of artificial intelligence methods, its implementation in the content generation process, as well as modelling the gameplay. The game design directly conditions the complexity and performance of artificial intelligence module. It should be noted that the digital games that so far used mode advanced artificial intelligence techniques had variable success, which implies that this area of application still needs to be fully defined, and that the future technological/software progress will further determine the level of freedom that game designers will have in their creativity.
