I would like to present my science fair project, titled “AI Mastery in the Snake Game: First Step to a Self-Driving Future”. It explores usage of artificial intelligence (AI) in achieving safer driving with the development of self-driving cars. The project uses a simplified model of a self-driving car in the classic Snake game to show how AI’s respond to dynamic environments, similar to real-world driving. With deep reinforcement learning (DRL) and convolutional neural networks (CNNs), the project aims to develop an AI model that can consistently complete the Snake game. The procedure involves learning to use specific machine learning packages, coding an interface for the game, programming and training the AI with reward functions, and continuously refining the model to enhance its performance. There were challenges, such as creating new reward functions and perfecting parameters, but through the struggles the success of the model flourished. The results demonstrate the AI’s ability to navigate the Snake game efficiently, providing insight into AI models in self-driving cars and other complex decision-making algorithms.
