Human-Led AI: the Future of Role Playing Games
AI will shape the next generation of games. But without trust, it delivers spam, not value. IP holders, developers, and players need confidence that AI respects authored worlds, keeps to rules, and delivers real value. This panel focuses on how human-led design allows AI to scale storytelling, ensures great game design, and unlocks new gameplay features, while protecting IP, narrative integrity, and player trust. We’ll discuss reactive worlds, rich NPCs, dynamic narratives, and player agency with meaningful consequences. We’ll also cover some of the real challenges of AI in games today – consistency, memory, control, and costs. Tidefall, the first Living World Game, will be used as a case study, sharing lessons from building and running a live AI-driven game.

How Odd Latent & AI is Redefining What it Means to be a Developer
Being a developer isn’t what it used to be. But making games still lives or dies from iteration: Does it feel fun, readable, surprising in your hands? I’ll share how we built an AI‑native studio at Odd Latent, collapsed a lot of roles, and redefined “developer” around shipping joy.

Psychology and Technology Behind Safer Online Spaces
Toxicity remains a major issue in online gaming, with nearly 20% of players facing harassment and many avoiding toxic communities. This harms players’ mental health and costs studios billions in lost engagement and retention. The presentation outlines how combining psychology, behavioral science, and AI can address this problem more effectively than traditional punitive measures like bans and reporting. By detecting early signs of harmful behavior and promoting empathy and self-regulation, AI can help build healthier communities.

AI Game QA: What actually works today?
AI is often sold as a magical solution to every problem, but that’s not the reality for QA (yet). In this session, you’ll get a clear overview of what already works in AI-driven testing (and what doesn’t), and how you can start leveraging it today.
