The Art of Designing Believable AI Agents

Yuqian Sun is a Chinese AI narrative researcher based in London and currently a doctoral student at the Royal College of Art.

Leveraging her expertise in interactive media, she creates narrative experiences that feel alive and extend beyond video games and into our daily lives through conversational AI agents. She explores this topic through chatbots, games and interactive installations, which expand the boundary of fiction through human or non-human language interactions. 

In this conversation, we look at:

• The driving principles she follows when building believable AI Agents

• Language and cultural barriers in the context of AI and Humans

• Her strong stance on AI-generated content

• A precious advice she gives to all creators out there who simply “hate AI”
