Where AI meets Play
Coverage from the frontier where AI pushes the boundaries of game development, storytelling, and immersive worlds.
Our Mission
AI is transforming gaming at breakneck speed. From neural networks generating infinite worlds to LLMs powering dynamic NPCs, from reinforcement learning mastering complex gameplay to generative AI creating art and music, the revolution is happening now.
AI Playground surfaces what matters. Every week, we monitor 50+ sources to find the 3-5 biggest developments in AI and gaming. We break down the key takeaways and explain why each story matters. Links included, context provided.
Our editorial team also dives deep into topics that deserve real exploration. Technical breakthroughs, creative experiments, and emerging trends that reveal where this field is heading. Analysis that goes beyond press releases to explore how things actually work and what they mean for gaming's future.
Human curation. Expert analysis. Real insights. Free every Sunday.
About the Curator
Hi, I'm Jeremy. I'm a data analyst, AI enthusiast, and lifelong gamer who lives at the intersection of these worlds.
By day, I build AI chatbots and incorporate AI into tools for clients. My work in OSINT (Open Source Intelligence) means I spend my weeks sifting through thousands of articles, using AI to judge relevance and curate content tailored to specific needs. I've become really good at finding signal in the noise.
By night and on weekends, I'm building AI/ML apps for fun and exploring the games I've loved since childhood. Gaming has been part of my life for as long as I can remember, from early console days to modern indie gems.
AI Playground is where all these passions collide. I realized I'm already reading hundreds of articles about AI in gaming every week for my own curiosity. Why not share the best ones with others exploring this new frontier?
This newsletter is free because I'm doing this work anyway. I'm just bringing you along for the ride.
