Google simply introduced Gemini 2.0, and as a part of its suite of reports at the moment, the corporate is revealing that it’s been exploring how AI brokers constructed with Gemini 2.0 can perceive guidelines in video video games that will help you out.
The brokers can “purpose in regards to the sport primarily based solely on the motion on the display screen, and provide up options for what to do subsequent in actual time dialog,” Google DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis and CTO Koray Kavukcuoglu write in a weblog submit. Hassabis and Kavukcuoglu additionally say that the brokers may also “faucet into Google Search to attach you with the wealth of gaming data on the internet.”
Google is testing the brokers’ “capacity to interpret guidelines and challenges” in video games like Conflict of Clans and Hay Day from Supercell, too, in accordance with Hassabis and Kavukcuoglu.
I’m not stunned Google is chasing these concepts: in concept, an AI agent teaching you thru a method or puzzle may very well be helpful. It appears like this work may be very early, although, and I’ve many questions on whether or not or not these brokers truly give sound recommendation. Primarily based on a video, I’m unsure the agent is that useful in the mean time — do I really want an AI agent to remind me about quests?
Google can also be investing in video video games and AI in one other method: creating playable digital worlds on the fly from a immediate picture utilizing a “basis world mannequin” known as Genie 2 that it confirmed off final week. That work appears early, too: Genie 2 can solely generate constant worlds for “as much as a minute,” Google says.
