One of the most common applications of game AI is in the creation of NPCs (non-player characters) who interact with players and other NPCs.

Another AI-powered video game is Turing Test, which puts the player in the role of an astronaut stranded on Europa while her colleagues are sent to conduct research. The game introduces the player to philosophical arguments about AI and its capabilities, from the titular Turing test to the ethical implications of human spaceflight. While the game is not designed as an educational or curricular experience and does not come with resources, it is a fun way to explore these topics.…
