Long ago gaming was just about fun derived from the completion of various levels to move ahead in a game like Aladdin or Pac-Man. The technology behind game development became more sophisticated with time and the games moved on to acquire a whole new meaning in the ‘Newly Evolved Gaming World’, where the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in gaming created a whole new immersive gaming experience for the players. If you have played games like GTA V on your PC, or The God of War Ragnarok on your PS5, you would certainly understand the use of AI-enabled immersive graphics that make the gameplay extremely interesting for the players.

So, game developers are mostly concerned with the engineering side of the AI, which involves building sophisticated algorithms for a realistic gameplay mechanism.
