One of the most-discussed elements of technology in recent times has been artificial intelligence, thanks in part to OpenAI's ChatGPT. Some are wondering how advancements to AI may impact the future of video games, and Microsoft Gaming CEO Phil Spencer believes AI can help games grow to another level.

"The intersection of AI and gaming has always been there. And now the AI capability on the planet is just getting bigger and bigger," Spencer said in an interview with XboxOn.

Microsoft recently partnered with ChatGPT creator OpenAI in a deal reportedly worth $10 billion, so Spencer is obviously not an impartial observer but instead someone with a business interest in seeing AI grow and succeed. He went on to say that AI has always been involved in video games, dating back to Pong, and it'll be a part of game development going forward, too.
