Google DeepMind trains a video game-playing AI to be your co-op companion
AI models that play games go back decades, but they generally specialize in one game and always play to win. Google Deepmind researchers have a different
Google Deepmind researchers have a different goal with their latest creation: a model that learned to play multiple 3D games like a human, but also does its best to understand and act on your verbal instructions. Deepmind’s SIMA (scalable instructable multiworld agent) doesn’t have any kind of access to the game’s internal code or rules; instead, it was trained on many, many hours of video showing gameplay by humans. The researchers’ ambition, on top of advancing the ball in agent-based AI fundamentally, is to create a more natural game-playing companion than the stiff, hard-coded ones we have today.
