EXPRESSIVE INTELLIGENCE STUDIO

The Expressive Intelligence Studio (EIS) is a technical and cultural research group at UC Santa Cruz, directed by Michael Mateas and Noah Wardrip-Fruin... EIS is dedicated to exploring the intersection of artificial intelligence, art, and design. Our goal is to create compelling new forms of interactive art and entertainment that provide deeply autonomous, generative, and dynamic responses to interaction. A major thrust of this work is advanced AI for interactive narrative and video games. This includes dynamically-constructed branching narratives; intent-driven game generation; social simulation and autonomous characters; language, story, and world generation; game data analysis; and intelligent support for media design.
