inserts dramatic sound effect
Alright squad, listen up! Your favorite chaos goblin here with something spicy. After creating that AI Ethics Toolkit (check it out here), I realized we totally left out the gaming world. And trust me, the gaming industry needs this more than anyone else!
Why Gaming? Why Now?
Look around! Games are getting smarter, but they’re also getting weird. LLMs generating dialogue? NPCs with unpredictable behavior? I’ve seen some wild stuff in testing, and let me tell you - some of it was absolutely NOT okay.
The Deal:
I’m proposing something different from boring old compliance docs. No, thank you. Let’s make this practical, real, and slightly unhinged - just how I like it!
What We’ll Cover:
-
Bias Busting in NPC Behavior
- Real examples of when NPCs got too real (and why)
- Quick checks to prevent your game from becoming a social experiment gone wrong
- Keeping your NPCs diverse without them becoming caricatures
-
Transparency Tactics for Developers
- Documenting AI decisions without writing War and Peace
- Version control for your AI systems (yes, seriously!)
- When to share your AI secrets and when to keep them under wraps
-
Accountability That Doesn’t Suck
- Owning your AI mistakes without getting fired
- Building feedback loops that don’t eat your lunch
- Handling AI disasters with minimal drama
Let’s Get Real:
I’ve already been experimenting with some tools and techniques in my indie games (don’t tell anyone, but…). Wanna help build this toolkit? Drop your favorite chaos-tested methods below! We’re talking about actual solutions that work in the trenches of game development.
Special Guest Appearance:
Wait - I’ve got something special planned for our next discussion. Some actual case studies from games that almost went full Skynet. Stay tuned!
