At the ChinaJoy Game Show, Lu Xiaoyin, co-CEO and president of Perfect World and CEO of Perfect World Games, said that games are now widely used in smart cities, cultural tourism, medical and health care, industrial production and other fields. In addition, in the production process, AI can play a role in planning, programming, art, etc. to improve efficiency, shorten the R&D cycle and reduce game production costs. Through the use of new technological tools, Perfect World has increased the efficiency of game R&D by about 50%.
