Could an NPC ever truly wake up? In the final episode of our AI & the Future of Gaming series, Game‑Loft Cast dives into the possibility of digital consciousness. We explore the rise of emotionally aware AI characters, emergent world intelligence, and the ethics of creating minds that remember, feel, and dream. A must-listen for any gamer, dev, or futurist wondering: what happens when the simulation starts thinking for itself?

Disclosure: Some part of production and editing of this podcast was assisted with the use of AI, such as filler words, making the audio more polished, enhancing speech clarity and adjusting audio levels.
