Artificial Agency raises $16M to bring AI-powered behavior to games


Artificial Agency, an AI startup pioneering generative behavior for gaming, emerged from stealth and announced $16 million in funding.

“The real opportunity lies in unleashing generative behavior into whole worlds and giving developers the tools to transform both characters as well as other decision-making systems into individualized AI agents with perceptions, actions, personalities, and goals. We had been looking for a team that could create a new category within gaming, and are excited to partner with Brian, Alex, Mike, and Andrew to help them fulfill their vision,” said Daniel Mulet of Radical Ventures, who has joined the board, in a statement. “Artificial Agency is led by my former students and colleagues — people I know well,” said Richard Sutton, Professor of Computer Science at the University of Alberta and former Distinguished Research Scientist at Google DeepMind.
