PyData Slovakia Meetup #28 [Marek Rosa: LLM-driven game characters]

Talk Title: "LLM-driven game characters"

Description: We present AI Game, a novel type of role-playing sandbox game that leverages LLM-powered agents to enhance player experience.

Our game features agents with long-term memory and autonomous goal pursuit, enabled by large language models that emulate their personalities, behaviors, thoughts, actions, and dialogues. These agents can observe and interact with their environment, communicate with each other, and make decisions based on their individual goals. Our game offers a unique and immersive gameplay experience that challenges traditional notions of game design and opens up exciting new avenues for exploration in AI and game development.

In this talk, we will discuss the technical and design aspects of our game, and highlight some of the key challenges and opportunities in this emerging field.

Speaker/Bio: Marek Rosa | CEO & Founder @ GoodAI, https://www.linkedin.com/in/marekrosa1 & https://blog.marekrosa.org/

Marek Rosa is the founder and CEO of GoodAI, a general artificial intelligence R&D company, and Keen Software House, an independent game development studio, started in 2010, and best known for its best-seller Space Engineers (nearing 5 million copies sold).

Marek has been interested in game development and artificial intelligence since childhood. He started his career as a programmer and later transitioned to a leadership role. After the success of Keen Software House titles, Marek was able to fund GoodAI in 2014 with a $10 Million personal investment.

Both companies now have over 100 engineers, researchers, artists, and game developers.

Marek's primary focus is the development of Space Engineers, VRAGE3 engine, AI Game, and Memetic Badger.

GoodAI's mission is to develop AGI - as fast as possible - to help humanity and understand the universe. One of the commercial stepping stones is the "AI game," which features LLM-driven NPCs grounded in the game world with developing personalities and long-term memory. GoodAI also works on autonomous agents that can self-improve and solve any task that a human can.
