    #002: Reaching the 'Next Level' with Mike Cook

    We welcome our first guest to the AI and Games podcast: Dr Michael Cook is a senior lecturer at King’s College London and has over a decade’s experiences as a researcher in procedural content generation and generative design for video games. Earlier this year he published ‘Next Level’, a book designed to be an introductory text for people new to PCG in games, and provides a fun and accessible entry point for people who don’t have a background in computer science to understand what’s happening. Tommy sits down with Mike for a right good natter about the process of bringing ‘Next Level’ to life. From the challenges of introducing complex subject matter to a general audience, deciding on what topics to cover, and why you can’t talk about Dwarf Fortress without also bringing up Caves of Cud. Catch Tommy’s review of ‘Next Level’ on the AI and Games newsletter: https://www.aiandgames.com/p/next-level-a-warm-and-encouraging The AI and Games Podcast is presented by AWS for Games.

    Welcome to the AI and Games Podcast!

    We’re pleased to announce the launch of the new AI and Games podcast! Building on our existing output of newsletter and YouTube videos, we’re launching a new biweekly/fortnightly programme where we’ll be expanding on all of the content people have come to know and love us for, but in a new nice and digestible podcast format. We’ll be digging into the headlines, providing explainers on the big talking points in the industry, and running interviews with people across the sector about the successes, failures, challenges, and risks of AI as it becomes an increasingly larger talking point in video games. This builds on over 10 years of work we’ve produced in AI on video games as part of both our YouTube channel and our weekly newsletter in providing a hype-free and accessible introduction to how artificial intelligence intersects with video games. AI and Games is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber. This is a public episode.
