  1. March 26, 2012 Artificial Intelligence In Modern Military Games GameTech 2012 Creative Technologies Inc.

  2. Who We Are Creative Technologies Inc. (CTI) Principals came from the US Army’s Institute for Creative Technologies (www.ict.usc.edu) Woman-owned, small business Based in Los Angeles, CA (Hollywood) Company founded in 2000 (entertainment production); full-time defense industry – 2006 Novel, immersive, virtual simulation training solutions

  3. What We Do Simulation development and support: Application development and system integration; team has developed 13 solutions (institutional, desktop and mobile) since 2003 System staffing and support Focus on US Army Customer, Intelligence Community Creative visualization: Concept and scenario development, scripting and storyboarding Film/video production & post production Live demonstration

  4. FCS Mobile Demonstration Trailer

  5. JFETS Close Air Support Module

  6. CFFT-Augmented Virtuality

  7. Real-World Student Workspace

  9. IARPA – Sirius/Missing

  10. DoD Desktop Status Quo • Graphics realism • Organic AI: scripting, path-planning, goal-oriented AI, learning behavior, behavior trees – crisp logic • Deterministic (with limited stochastic variability) • Suitable for force-on-force, doctrinally consistent conflict • Constructive sim drivers: • Large number of entities • Hybrid solution: • Command decisions: natural intelligence • SAF • Blackboard

  11. Commercial Directions • Physically realistic characters • Avatars react to the world physically (hand on a rail, feet on a sloping surface) • Complex audio processing • Discussion regarding NPC cognition and states • Fuzzy reasoning: • Slow on single-thread machines • Massively parallel could make it feasible • Need to move off single-thread “mindset”

  12. Improved Desktop AI: Potential Enablers • Next-gen console General Purpose Graphics Processing Units • Dozens of GP GPUs flat memory model • Bandwidth: • Cloud-based AI computing • Wired • LTE

  13. Support for Fuzzy Reasoning Implementation • More achievable with massively parallel processing than practical conversational agents • Fuzzy sets/hedges/quantifiers/rules/policies can be developed by non-engineering domain experts • Technology tolerates conflicting expert opinions • Emergent NPC behavior that is both non-deterministic and logical

  14. Non-deterministic And Sensible Possible substitute for natural intelligence in C2 Shared resource/lower cost AI calculations: time sensitive…not time critical

  15. Recent Example: Adaptive OPFOR • Left 4 Dead: • “Applying Behavioral Mathematics to LEFT 4 DEAD” – Dave Mark, 2009, aigamedev.com • AI Director – bots dynamically respond to player gameplay • Target selection • Fuzzy triggers • Pattern recognition

  16. In Development CTI project assesses player performance in a complex search:
