The talk gives an overview of the work my colleagues and I have recently published in Nature: "World and Human Action Models towards gameplay ideation" www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Why we're training AI on video games AI is already a powerful tool for collaboration — but this is just the tip of the iceberg, says AI researcher Katja Hofmann. She describes her team's work training AI on years of human gameplay data f...

What happens when we train generative AI models to predict everything that happens in a modern video game? In my TED AI talk I share insights from how AI can learn the physics of a game, and how this research could empower game creatives: www.ted.com/talks/katja_...

1/2: Empowering game creators with innovative research that could unlock groundbreaking ideas ✨ Muse - our new generative AI model done in collaboration between Xbox and Microsoft Research, is a new kind of generative AI model that’s trained on gameplay to simulate gameplay.

World and Human Action Models towards gameplay ideation - Nature A state-of-the-art generative artificial intelligence model of a video game is introduced to allow the support of human creative ideation, with the analysis of user study data highlighting three necessary capabilities, namely, consistency, diversity and persistency.

A paper in Nature presents a generative AI tool that could help video game designers to craft gameplay iteratively. The AI model, developed by researchers at Microsoft, generated robust 3D worlds that obeyed the mechanics of the video game they were designed for. https://go.nature.com/41mNgcG 🧪
