This talk will make a Segway from the massive hype train of the "AI Revolution" and veer into the well established, but still ever evolving world of AI and Video Games.

A vast and complex subject in its own right, it's becoming ever more important to understand the so called "world models" that AI builds and interacts in - especially as they continue to intersect with our physical world through robotics, automation, and several other spaces.

Thus we will cover some of the history of AI and video games, some of unique symbolic AI algorithms used in facilitating video game behavior from individual character interaction to grand Strategic planning algorithms by A.I., to generating entire new games from AI.
