A Brief History of AI and Games
Games have always been an ideal testing ground for artificial intelligence. Their unique responsiveness, ever-changing objectives, and real-time environments make them perfect for advancing AI technology. Early AI development faced significant obstacles, requiring preset rules or simplified environments to function. However, these limitations spurred creative solutions, and games became the perfect stage for progress.
2015 was a pivotal moment: an AI agent mastered 49 Atari games solely through pixels and scores, achieving performance on par with professional human players. This breakthrough demonstrated that AI could learn naturally in complex environments, laying the groundwork for today’s AI revolution.
From Arcade AI to Autonomous Agents: Games have evolved from simple computer opponents to self-learning characters owned by players in the Web3 era.
How Current Web2 Game Companies are Utilizing AI
Building on this foundation, leading game companies are implementing AI technology in innovative ways.
Roblox (announced February 2023): Revolutionized user-generated content (UGC) in games by integrating generative AI, helping 58.8 million daily active users create 3D models and code through simple prompts.
Sony AI (announced November 2019): Focused on foundational AI research to enhance Sony's gaming business.
King (active since 2017): Pioneered the use of AI in game development through its AI lab, particularly using game testing bots, which reduced manual level adjustments in Candy Crush Saga by 95% and increased development speed by 50%.
The Next Chapter of AI Games: From Web2 to Web3
AI has already demonstrated its transformative value in gaming, reshaping how games are built, played, and experienced. While Web2 giants continue to innovate, the crypto gaming space remains underdeveloped, presenting enticing opportunities for AI-driven advancements.
In the following sections, we will explore some pioneering projects leading this transformation, combining AI and Web3 to redefine the future of gaming.

Conclusion
AI and Web3 are fundamentally reshaping the gaming landscape, providing players with personalized experiences that empower them to actively shape virtual worlds. We are moving beyond basic AI functionalities into fully autonomous environments where every player's decision has an impact, transforming players from passive consumers into capable participants.
Projects like AI Waifu and Today are not just entertainment platforms; they are evolving into social ecosystems where AI-driven characters create profound personal connections and drive player-owned economies. The integration of AI training through gaming, as seen in Genopets and AI Arena, further emphasizes this shift towards player-centered value creation.
Perhaps most importantly, the combination of AI and Web3 technologies makes game development more accessible than ever. Projects like GameGPT and Oasis demonstrate how AI tools can break down traditional creative barriers, allowing anyone to participate in building these new virtual worlds. This shift, along with the rise of autonomous AI agents and player-owned data, indicates that we are witnessing the early stages of a gaming revolution, where the boundaries between players, creators, and AI blur, forming a single, dynamic ecosystem.
