AI Researchers, Video Games Are Your Friends!
  If you are an artificial intelligence researcher, you should look to video
games as ideal testbeds for the work you do. If you are a video game developer,
you should look to AI for the technology that makes completely new types of
games possible. This chapter lays out the case for both of these propositions.
It asks the question "what can video games do for AI", and discusses how in
particular general video game playing is the ideal testbed for artificial
general intelligence research. It then asks the question "what can AI do for
video games", and lays out a vision for what video games might look like if we
had significantly more advanced AI at our disposal. The chapter is based on my
keynote at IJCCI 2015, and is written in an attempt to be accessible to a broad
audience.
