Artificial intelligence (AI) models have been playing the popular tabletop role-playing game Dungeons & Dragons (D&D) so that researchers can test their ability to create long-term strategies and collaborate with both other AI systems and human players.
In a study presented at the NeurIPS 2025 conference, which ran from Dec. 2 to Dec. 7 in San Diego, researchers said D&D is an optimal test bed thanks to the game's unique blend of creativity and rigid rules.
