The game design community has a long history of adapting different forms of AI techniques to produce new playable experiences. However, current AI-based game design literature focuses primarily on designers’ intent and expression. This paper argues that engaging with players’ perspectives on AI during development is an essential but often overlooked piece in existing AI-based game design processes. By integrating this perspective, game designers can better outline how players may experience AI in the context of games and tailor design decisions to the intended experience. This paper offers three case studies that incorporate the player perspective into the design process and discusses design implications.
