AI has been a part of video games from almost the beginning. Developers programmed computer opponents for players to compete with and ultimately "beat" the game.
In the current AI boom, the technology has been used in different ways for gaming. Nvidia has used AI to enhance graphics with its latest RTX 50-series GPUs. Meanwhile, some developers have leveraged AI to produce low-effort games, also referred to as "e-slop," often sold for just a few dollars in digital stores.
