Needless to say, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has made game development more efficient and creative. With the help of AI, Developers can generate complex environments and realistic non-player characters (NPCs) that react adaptively to player actions, making the game more immersive and dynamic. 

AI algorithms play a vital role in analyzing player behaviour to tailor game difficulty, suggest content, and even alter storylines in real-time, providing a personalized gaming experience for each player.
