With artificial intelligence now embedded in what seems to be everything–researchers are beginning to question how its speed and precision might influence human behavior.
At UNLV’s International Gaming Institute, director of research Kasra Ghaharian recently co-authored a study examining how unregulated AI systems could exploit vulnerable gamblers—raising concerns about ethical boundaries and the need for oversight in the gaming industry.
“We’re seeing AI applications in casino cameras for example, to help detect money laundering, collusion, and fraud,” Ghaharian said.
“We’re also seeing it in back of house operations, from copywriting for websites and marketing materials, to even game designers and developers using it to create new assets for slot machines.”
