The team behind Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel has introduced a proof of concept for a new creative framework that could allow for the deployment of AI as duel opponents. Unlike the current CPU opponents, the new AI is designed to ‘learn’ the trading card game by taking into account its experience during prior duels, making it less predictable and potentially more challenging for human opponents. The example AI showcased during Yu-Gi-Oh!’s 25th anniversary event had been tested on roughly 100,000 duels and includes a visualisation framework showing the decision-making process for the AI integrated selection choices and decision-making into the UI of the game itself. However, it has not been decided whether this proof-of-concept AI will be introduced into Master Duel for the general public to test, nor has it been decided whether a framework for general audiences to produce their own AI using the team’s framework will be opened up to other AI developers. As things stand, this is solely a tech demo showcasing a potential future for non-human opponents within Master Duel.
