Microsoft is taking its first official steps into artificial intelligence with AI-made characters for Xbox.

For the past year, developers have attempted to use AI in different means beyond generating art or voice performances. Some (like Activision Blizzard) are using it to moderate in-game chats, while Sony hopes to use the technology for streaming purposes.
