In Depth: Video Game Studios Bank on AI Future

Video game studios are using artificial intelligence (AI) to reshape how video games are made.

The latest example of this change is Whispers from the Star, where the player guides a stranded astronaut through life-or-death choices by having open-ended, AI-driven conversations.

The game was released on Steam last month and has received mostly positive reviews. It was developed by Anuttacon, a California startup founded by Cai Haoyu, who also cofounded Mihoyo Co. Ltd., a Shanghai-based game developer and publisher.
