This includes technical research on game playing as a paradigmatic example of sequential, strategic decision-making; design-support work using AI for automated and semi-automated design; and conceptual work on formal models of games' mechanical and meaning-making elements. Recently I've been looking into how to harness the strengths of large language models (LLMs) while constraining their tendency towards generating hallucinated and otherwise undesired outputs.
