Google DeepMind just introduced an AI agent that plays video games with you

Google DeepMind just introduced an AI agent called SIMA that will be able to play video games alongside you.

Imagine playing your favorite RPG, but instead of battling computerized enemies hellbent on defeating you all by yourself, you have a mighty companion – an advanced artificial intelligence (AI) agent that learns and behaves like a human player. The training process involved multiple steps, including building a custom environment in the Unity engine where agents learned object manipulation by creating sculptures. A seasoned technology writer and content strategist, he has contributed to many UK regional and national publications including The Scotsman, inews.co.uk, nationalworld.com, Edinburgh Evening News, The Daily Record and more.
