Last month we hosted the first 'AI and Games Conference' in London, with 250 gamedevs from across indie, AAA, and research in the same space.

Great summary!
I recently had the pleasure of attending the 2023 @GameAISchool at @MSFTResearch in Cambridge, UK.
But what is it like to attend an event like this? Well, I vlogged the experience so you can find out all about it.

Thank you so much for the great summary and photos Tommy! It's amazing how you can capture these moments and turn them into well-thought-out summaries in real time!
We're onto the last talk of #GameAISchool2023 day 2 before lunch.
Next up is fellow GDC advisor and all-round wonderful @aphrael, R&D director at @CAGames discussing challenges of AI at scale in the Total War franchise.
The first time back at the office since the awards, and found this delightful surprise on my desk. Thank you @CAGames, I love you ❤️

Second and final day of AI summit @Official_GDC just finished. Every single talk was brilliant. Thank you very much to all speakers!
Asking a favour (especially friends from the academic community) - How do you organise and keep track of the papers you read and the notes you make? Either a piece of software you use or maybe a system you created. Thanks 🙂
