How Is AI Trying to Intervene in Games?

CES 2026 keyword was "AI Everywhere" -- AI establishing itself as a basic premise across hardware, software, and services. A clear change is materializing in the gaming domain: AI moving to intervene in the very way players experience games, beyond supporting game production or operational efficiency. Two approaches: (1) Razer "Project Motoko" -- AI recognizes play situations and provides players with information and feedback; AR glasses/headset concept where AI analyzes the game screen in real-time and provides contextual guidance; the player remains in full control but receives AI-generated information overlays; (2) Sony "AI Generated Ghost Player" patent -- AI can engage in play actions themselves when needed; the system can generate a "ghost" replay demonstrating how to complete a difficult section, or potentially perform the section directly. Shared purpose: both aim to reduce friction and allow play experience to continue. Different intervention points: Motoko explains "what to do" (information layer); Ghost Player can show or do "how to act" (action layer). This distinction extends to the question of how far AI can take on roles in games -- and who defines where human agency ends and AI assistance begins.
