Not really surprising but nevertheless interesting:

The Gaming Industry is the driving force behind AI development.

Now what am I supposed to think about it? While Ai could bring imeasurable benefits to allmost all fields of science and technology it is mainly used to make characters in computergames kill you faster.

Fear

From my experience it seems as if other branches of industry, as for example banking, insurance companies, software houses, are reluctant to use AI technology because they do not have the appropriate knowledge. People can often not evaluate the value of particular AI techniques correctly because they lack the knowledge.
Large companies who might benefit from an agent solution for their legacy systems just stick to the old (and increasingly often) wrong prejudice that AI is too inefficient and belongs in the Sci-Fi section. And even if they are using AI stuff, they are simply unaware of it: "Expert systems are AI, you kiddin'...".

I think that the business world needs to be educated about AI's possibilities and current limitations.

Konrad, I'm sorry you have such a narrow perception of videogames. I don't suppose you've ever played The Sims, Black & White, or any sports, chess, or puzzle games?
