This is Part 3 of a 3-part series on Gaming and AI.

In this episode, we delve into the intricate interplay between gaming and AI, revealing a relationship that has been integral to advancements in both fields.

Our discussion kicks off with the contribution of gaming environments as ideal platforms for progressing reinforcement learning. These games, with their well-defined rules and clear cause-effect relationships, have been instrumental in pushing the boundaries of AI. We'll highlight pivotal moments like the development of AlphaGo, which leveraged these features to outperform human players at the complex game of Go.

We'll also shed light on the critical part that the gaming industry has played in advancing graphic processing units (GPUs). Once primarily used for improving gaming graphics, these GPUs have unexpectedly become a major catalyst for AI development.

Our conversation provides listeners with a deep understanding of how this symbiotic relationship between gaming and AI continues to fuel innovation, each field propelling the other forward.
