So how does artificial intelligence (AI) fit with VR? If AI is typically defined as intelligent technology capable of replicating human learning and problem-solving skills, the trick with VR will be for AI to anticipate what the viewer wants to see and prepare as it streams out to their headset. Gamers are doing this now by starting to incorporate AI alongside canned player action responses. This way when a player does something out of the norm, a new reaction is “dreamed up” by the AI engine.

And they need to do it soon. They also understand that the modernization of their technology foundations is not something that happens overnight and that navigating the transition from their existing infrastructures to next-generation architectures requires both a steady hand and precision budgeting.
