The GDC Machine Learning Summit Chairs have designed this Forum session for you. Why? To give you a place to ask any questions you might have about Machine Learning AI in the Video Games Industry. How? By gathering eminent panelists that will be on stage, and having a moderator to bounce questions around. This 60-minute Forum will start with the introduction of our panelists, the moderator will then kick off the session with a few questions while the audience gathers around the mics made available in the room, and then give priority to any questions from the audience. Come to talk about Simulation, Content Creation, Tools, Pipelines, Processes, Operations, Services, Advancement from Academia, and more!

This Forum is all yours—All You Can Ask!

Takeaway

Although the moderator will have questions prepared for the panelists, priority will be given to the audience. This Forum will give attendees a good idea of what the hot questions of the moment are, what the current and future trends in Machine Learning look like, and offer attendees the opportunity to have their very own questions answered.
