You make AIControler instead of PlayerController, then hook it to character pawn.

Plenty of tutorials for AI, some easy some quite complicated, many outdated.

Sorry My post was a little wrong, I was using visual scripting for moving the character. How do we use AI using visual scripting to move the character.

this is advanced, (and may be outdated a bit):  
[https://docs.unrealengine.com/latest/INT/Engine/AI/BehaviorTrees/QuickStart/index.html](https://docs.unrealengine.com/latest/INT/Engine/AI/BehaviorTrees/QuickStart/index.html)

this is most beginner ai tutorial i know about:

> **[A new, community-hosted Unreal Engine Wiki](https://forums.unrealengine.com/t/a-new-community-hosted-unreal-engine-wiki/141494)**
>
> After over a year in maintenance mode, the official Unreal Engine Wiki is now permanently offline. These resources now live on a new community-run Unreal Engine Community Wiki — ue4community.wiki! You will be able to find content from the official...

You could use this from marketplace:

> **[AI Behavior Toolkit in Blueprints - UE Marketplace](https://www.unrealengine.com/marketplace/en-US/product/ai-behavior-toolkit)**
>
> Create believable AI characters within minutes using a powerful and flexible Behavior State system.

However i would recommend following first two tutorials before buying modules from marketplace.

also google for “unreal blueprint character AI” you get plenty of tuts.
