Chang LiuGame AI designerNetEase

Chang Liu is game AI designer at NetEase's ThunderFire Studio, developer of Sword of Justice Mobile. After two years in NetEase's Fuxi AI Lab, Liu moved to ThunderFire four years ago to place large-model technology directly inside a live MMO. She now leads all AI-powered systems in Sword of Justice—including QuickShoot Stage and StageHub, the game's 3-D short-video platform, plus the Intelligent NPC network and open-world Bounty Board. Her focus is turning AI features into evergreen live-ops content that keeps players engaged well beyond launch. This session marks Liu's GDC debut.
