AI Seminar Series 2023: Nathan Sturtevant & Arta Seify

The AI Seminar is a weekly meeting at the University of Alberta where researchers interested in artificial intelligence (AI) can share their research. Presenters include both local speakers from the University of Alberta and visitors from other institutions. Topics can be related in any way to artificial intelligence, from foundational theoretical work to innovative applications of AI techniques to new fields and problems.

On March 31, Nathan Sturtevant —Amii Fellow, Canada CIFAR AI Chair & Director — & Arta Seify — AI developer on Nightingale — presented “Living in Procedural Worlds: Creature Movement and Spawning in ‘Nightingale’" at the AI Seminar.

This seminar explores the unique AI challenges faced during the development of Inflexion Studio’s debut title, Nightingale, a co-op survival-crafting experience in which players venture through portals where adventure and mystery await across a myriad of beautiful and increasingly-dangerous procedurally generated realms.
