About this event

Games are complex, data-rich environments where AI shapes characters, generates worlds, personalises experiences and helps creative teams produce everything from concepts to dialogue, animation and code. In this Data Lab Community meetup, two practitioners share insights from the intersection of data, AI, gaming and creativity. Anita Klementiev (Speech Graphics) introduces the multilingual, emotional speech datasets that drive audio-based facial animation used by studios including Warner Bros, Naughty Dog and EA; Pauline Mcloy-Turtle (SUUM Studio) brings a creative-direction perspective. Relevant whether you work in ML, analytics, engineering or governance — gaming is a window into challenges every sector faces. Part of the Data Lab's Creativity and Gaming theme. Available in person at the Bayes Centre or online.
