How do they feel about the AI, and how is what the AI does communicated to the player? Is there interaction with the AI, and if so, who takes the lead? Is this a social experience, a believable one? Is the AI creative, or at least perceived as such? And finally, is the AI making the game experience better?<\/p>\n<p>AIs fill many roles in games, from companions to antagonists, from storytellers to architects and game testers. With all the recent focus and technical advances in AI this is likely to increase, and the recent popularity of artificial intelligence is moving AIs to the foreground of games. This raises many questions \u2014 and in this workshop, we want to look at those surrounding the player&#8217;s user experience with artificial intelligence in its many forms.<br \/>\nThe 2019 Workshop on User Experience and Artificial Intelligence encompasses the intersection between UX and AI as it manifests in games. We wish to act as a point of interaction between researchers specialized within these fields, in the hope that this will help facilitate research that allows for the creation of more interesting and robust AI-based game experiences.<\/p>\n<p>This workshop aims to build a community centered on this by putting forward demonstrations of work in the integration of these two areas, as well as models and theories that can be used to create understanding where the areas intersect. We especially welcome demonstrations of work in progress or work showcasing new ideas. We are interested in realized prototypes, demons and applications \u2014 especially designed created to explore hypotheses. We are also open to philosophical and humanities-based approaches and provocative ideas.<\/p>\n<p>The workshop is co-located and organized with the 2019 Foundations of Digital Games (FDG) conference in San Luis Obispo, California, USA (August 26-30, 2019).<\/p>\n<p>Here is the full CFP:<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/uxofai.org\/cfp-2019.php\">Call for Papers to the 2019 Workshop on User Experience of Artificial Intelligence in Games @ FDG<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We are organizing another AI &amp; Games focussed workshop at this year&#8217;s\u00a0Foundations of Digital Games conference: 2019 Workshop on User Experience of Artificial Intelligence in Games @ FDG How do players experience Artificial Intelligence (AI) in games?
