WORKSHOP : Beyond Coding: The Future Challenges and Skills of Gameplay AI

About this talk

This interactive workshop is split into two parts. First, participants will work individually and in small groups to identify the Gameplay AI problems that remain genuinely difficult even with highly capable coding agents. We will then refine, cluster, and collectively rank those challenges.
After the break, groups will take the highest-priority challenges and ask what capabilities future Gameplay AI developers will need to address them. We will narrow these down to a small set of essential skills and identify which current skills may become less differentiating.

Key Takeaways

Participants will leave with a shared “Gameplay AI Developer 2030+” map linking future challenges to the capabilities needed to tackle them.
