Virtual Beings Summit features how AI simulations will change entertainment (June 7 in SF)

The fifth annual Virtual Beings Summit: Simulations is taking place on June 7 in San Francisco, and the event will center on the big trend around AI simulations, where smart AI characters populate virtual worlds.

These characters can live their lives and continue to thrive in these virtual worlds even if they aren’t controlled by humans, said Edward Saatchi, CEO of Fable Studio, in an interview with GamesBeat. Saatchi is front and center of this trend as the curator of the Virtual Beings Summit.
