The American tech giant recently posted a job listing that wanted a new hire for its “Xbox Gaming AI team”.

According to the job description, Microsoft is searching to hire a game developer who can also help create the future of “Game AI”. The person would even be required to integrate deep learning and foundation models into next-gen titles to bring an enhanced in-game experience to gamers. This person would also work with the Xbox Emerging Technologies team, which is a unit dedicated to looking into emerging technologies that can help disrupt the gaming landscape.

Microsoft is even aiming on implementing AI/ML techniques like Large Language Model prompt engineering and model runtime implementation into gaming. In other words, gaming might soon see a massive upgrade in terms of interactions with in-game NPCs. This isn’t just limited to character interaction, the game’s engine might also be more reactive to player progression and much more. The sky is the limit with this, but as of right now, we are still on the drawing board.
