LEVEL//UP AI

The series

LEVEL//UP AI is an independent virtual briefing and live-build series for people building, funding, operating and researching AI-powered games. Each episode pairs practical live builds with practitioner, technical and responsible-AI perspectives, focused on what works in production and what it costs.

Episode 001: AI Characters in Games: From Demo to Production

How game teams can build believable AI characters without losing control of memory, latency, cost, lore, safety or player experience.

The first event is a 90-minute virtual briefing and live build. It is centred on AI NPCs and persistent game characters: a practitioner briefing, a live AI NPC build, a technical infrastructure discussion, a creative and responsible-AI segment and an open audience Q&A.
