With the launch of the Xbox Series X and S already past, many gamers are eager to see what new features, titles and functionality will come to these devices. Microsoft is preparing to host several events throughout 2021 to talk about games and their technology, with the first conference taking place in a few weeks.
Microsoft has announced that its AI and Gaming Research Summit will take place on February 23rd-24º. Even if this is not a game showcase, there will be many conversations about the technology and tools that make ideas come true.
And you may be thinking that this is a small event, but based on the agenda, or at least who will speak at the event, this does not seem to be the scenario. Two notable names you’ve probably heard before include Phil Spencer, executive vice president, Gaming, and Kareem Choudhry, corporate vice president, Gaming Cloud, Microsoft, both of whom will be on stage.
According to the landing page, the event is focused on four themes:
- AI agents for gameplay and game testing
- Responsible gaming, including ethics, safety and inclusion
- Computational creativity and content generation
- Understanding players, player engagement and analytics
For game developers and academics who want to explore the data and technology created by Microsoft’s gaming and research divisions, this event will provide the perfect crossover. Even if this is not a typical gaming conference, if you care about how the sausage is made, you will want to tune in.
