Richard Evans will be speaking about AI research and game AI — including some thoughts based on his work on Versu — at Develop. Develop runs July 8-10, 2014 in Brighton.

Here’s the talk description:

Why are some AI researchers sniffy about so-called Game AI? Why are some game developers unimpressed by AI research? Why can’t everybody just “chillax” and get along? More seriously, this talk is about what game developers can learn from AI research. It will describe various recherché (i.e. fancy-pants) techniques that could be used in next-gen games.
