Adaptive Agents in games

Microsoft applies for “adaptive agents” patent in video games

Microsoft has filed a patent application that covers “adaptive agents” - game characters that learn based on the events within a video game. According to the filing, these AI agents will be “driven by rewards they receive based on the outcome of their behavior during actual game play.”
