As the keynote speaker at the annual computer graphics and interactive entertainment expo SIGGRAPH, Lucas talked about how he plans to get more involved in his company’s videogames division, and expressed his wishes to see much improved Artificial Intelligence in videogames.

Lucas wants AI and speech recognition to reach the stage where “you can talk to the game and it will talk back.” Lucas went on to say how he hopes storytelling can be improved thanks to better AI. One such game type to benefit from advanced AI is the first-person shooter, which Lucas wants to evolve into “intelligent and challenging first-person shooter-type dramas.”

Maybe Lucas will revisit his Star Wars films and add all new AI to the computer effects.
