About Our Initiative

The people and passion behind the future of gaming.

A timeline showing the evolution of AI in gaming

Our Story

AI Gamedev 2025 was born from a shared vision among a group of veteran developers and AI researchers who saw a disconnect between the rapid advancements in artificial intelligence and their adoption within the gaming industry. Founded in 2022, our initiative began as a series of small workshops aimed at demystifying machine learning for game designers. The overwhelming positive response led us to dream bigger. We envisioned a world-class event that would not just showcase technology, but foster a global community dedicated to ethically and creatively pushing the boundaries of interactive entertainment. Australia, with its vibrant tech scene and creative spirit, was the perfect place to launch our flagship conference.
