Abstract

AI incorporated into games has come a long way in the alteration of the gaming stories and the introduction of cultural and social aspects into games. This article is dedicated to considering the use of AI in video games and its impacts on culture and ethnicity. It provides a short historical background of video games from text-based adventures to the multimedia near-movies. Importance is given to the technologies that make the narratives interactive and dynamic. Thus, this research aims to find out and analyze the various meanings that are depicted in video game narratives with a special focus on social relations and culture. Also, the article provides information on concerns related to the realism and fairness of the AI, such as stereotype reinforcement, post-truth, and privacy. It provides recommendations for game designers and identifies gaps for research to mitigate the harms of AI in video game storytelling.
