Personal digital assistants like Apple’s Siri and Amazon’s Alexa are becoming household names, and now Ubisoft has designed its own AI-driven assistant specifically for video game players. To learn how it works, come on out to\u00a0the 2019\u00a0Game Developers Conference<\/a>\u00a0next month!<\/p>\n

As part of the GDC 2019\u00a0Design track<\/a>\u00a0of talks, Ubisoft\u00a0Barcelona creative director Charles Huteau will present “Ubisoft Club: Building “SAM”, the First AI Chatbot for Gamers<\/a>.” He’ll give you a behind-the-scenes\u00a0look at the nine months of development that went into Ubisoft’s\u00a0AI chatbot SAM,\u00a0from the early prototype to the worldwide release of the beta version and the collaboration with game teams like Rainbow 6: Siege<\/em> and Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

He’ll also share key lessons from the development team and the discoveries that were made from building an assistant AI which is radically different from traditional home assistants like Siri or Amazon’s Alexa. You’ll also explore the future of the project and examine how an “open dev” philosophy brings community and users at the center of major development decisions!<\/p>\n

It’s a great talk that’s part of the equally great GDC 2019\u00a0AI\u00a0Summit<\/a>, which is\u00a0jam-packed with intriguing and in-depth sessions offering an\u00a0inside look at key architectures and issues within successful games.\u00a0<\/p>\n

While the summit is targeted at\u00a0programmers who want in-depth discussions, anyone interested in what AI can offer the next generation of\u00a0games will gain invaluable perspective and insight.<\/p>\n
