While such an AI player could be a supportive companion in multiplayer games with a story mode, Sima may also offer gamers an unfair advantage. Like others in the tech sector, game developers aim to leverage the rapid advances in artificial intelligence. Overwatch and Diablo developer Blizzard Entertainment is reportedly using the technology to assist in non-player character design, for example.
