Integrating Generative AI into Narrative-Based Educational Games for Moral Development: A Conceptual Approach

Abstract

This paper presents a conceptual approach for integrating artificial intelligence (AI) into the mechanics of narrative-based educational games. Drawing on theoretical analysis and a comprehensive literature review, the proposed model emphasizes the use of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) to personalize game worlds, adapt storylines dynamically, and simulate the consequences of players’ moral decisions. Rather than offering static scenarios, the system enables real-time narrative adaptation based on decision patterns and player profiles, promoting deeper engagement and ethical reflection. The core contribution lies in demonstrating how AI can support the development of critical thinking and moral sensitivity through interactive storytelling. The proposed solutions may inform the design of educational games and training environments that foster moral development in a socially responsible and pedagogically grounded manner.
