Google Introduces AI to Play Games Like a Human🕹️ Google DeepMind has unveiled SIMA (Scalable, Instructable, Multiworld Agent), an AI agent designed to learn gaming skills to play video games more like humans. Unlike traditional AI that focuses on winning, SIMA aims to follow instructions and integrate seamlessly with human players. It combines natural language instruction with 3D world understanding and image recognition to learn general gaming skills. Google worked with game developers like Hello Games and Coffee Stain to train SIMA across various games, including No Man’s Sky and Goat Simulator 3. Currently, SIMA has basic skills like turning left and climbing ladders, but it's expected to perform more complex tasks in the future. While SIMA is not intended to replace existing game AI, it could serve as another player within a game, potentially offering new gameplay experiences. theverge.com/2024/3/13/2409…

Shall we play a game...?🧵 High-fives if you got the War Games reference. AI in games is nothing new (must win), but Google is training AI to play more like a human (suck more). Why games? Well, it is the most popular form of entertainment in the world, which means TONS of learning data to pull from. And games are definitely not the "end game" for this form of AI. Think bigger picture where robots are equipped to be more "human" versus automaton so we embrace them as benevolent helpers, versus fear them as our new overlords. But until that day comes, have fun with these game-related bytes of news!
