Eric Dybsand Memorial AI Scholarship

The Eric Dybsand AI Scholarship began in 2007.

Eric Dybsand was a pillar of the development community, warm and welcoming to all. His untimely death was a blow to the whole industry, but more so for his specialist field of Artificial Intelligence. 

Eric was well-known at GDC for being one of the original “3 AI guys” — a group that included Steve Woodcock and Neil Kirby. Together, they ran the AI roundtables — a GDC fixture that continues to this day. Each year, in Eric’s honor, one student with an interest in AI is chosen to be the recipient of the Eric Dybsand Memorial AI Scholarship.
