Episode 7: Talking AI in gaming with Xgenia’s Mark Flores Martin
Right to the Source welcomes its very first guest as Mark Flores Martin braves Ed Birkin’s skepticism and Robin Harrison’s flurry of buzzwords to discuss the evolution of artificial intelligence in gambling.
Mark’s business Xgenia started out using AI to power game development, before pivoting to create “AIs building AIs”. The focus is providing the tools for clients to build their own artificial intelligence, train it and ultimately create something bespoke for themselves.
And for an early adopter he’s remarkably clear eyed on its potential, and skeptical of the wave of products described as revolutionising AI in gaming. The vast majority are just wrappers for ChatGPT, he points out.
That’s not to say he doesn’t believe in the potential. “We’ve just discovered fire, and we’re still learning how to cook with it,” he says.
Will he break down Ed’s skepticism towards AI in gaming? Can Robin fit a few more buzzwords in? Watch or listen to find out in the latest episode of Right to the Source!
