Google DeepMind’s Latest AI Agent Learned to Play 'Goat Simulator 3'


These AI agents can adapt to games they haven't played before. Google made them by feeding data on how humans play different video games to a language model like those behind the latest chatbots.

That might seem an unlikely venue for the next big leap in artificial intelligence, but Google DeepMind today revealed an AI program capable of learning how to complete tasks in a number of games, including Goat Simulator 3. As Google, OpenAI, and others jostle to gain an edge in building on the recent generative AI boom, broadening out the kind of data that algorithms can learn from offers a route to more powerful capabilities. That’s a dream being chased by both independent AI enthusiasts and big companies including Google DeepMind, whose CEO, Demis Hassabis, recently told WIRED is “investing heavily in that direction.”
