Summary

This document appears to be Page 149 of a larger publication included in House Oversight Committee records (stamped HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_016952). The text is an essay or article analyzing the intersection of Artificial Intelligence and Art, specifically focusing on the work of artist Ian Cheng and his 'Live Simulations' (Emissaries trilogy). It details a conversation between Cheng and programmer Richard Evans (creator of Versu) regarding social behavior in simulations versus traditional video games like The Sims, and draws historical parallels to 1960s collaborations between engineers and artists like Billy Klüver and Robert Rauschenberg.
