From Atari to EVE Online: Building on 15 Years of AI Research in Games
Google DeepMind is partnering with game developers, including Fenris Creations, to advance AI research using complex gaming environments. The objective is to develop generalist agents capable of understanding and interacting within virtual worlds.
Why it matters
These advancements could provide gamers with more adaptive NPCs and companions while offering developers better automated testing tools. Historically, game-based AI research has led to real-world scientific breakthroughs like protein structure prediction.
The details
- SIMA 2 is a generalist agent powered by Gemini for interactive play.
- Fenris Creations' EVE universe helps study long-horizon planning and memory.
- The Aura Guidance system uses Gemini to assist new EVE Online pilots.
