AI är definitivt det nya svarta i teknikbranschen, och alla stora företag undersöker för närvarande hur de kan implementera AI i sin dagliga verksamhet. En jätte som Activision Blizzard är inget undantag, och under ett företagsmöte nyligen delade chefen Bobby Kotick med sig av några intressanta åsikter om AI i allmänhet och hur det skulle kunna användas av företaget:
"I've known Sam Weltman and the folks who are working at OpenAI for a long time. I don't know how much people realize that a lot of modern day AI including ChatGPT started with the idea of beating a game, whether it was Warcraft or Dota or Starcraft or Go or Chess. But what is now these large language learning model AI technologies, all started from this idea of beating a game.
And I think one of the things that I've experienced over the last year is that same feeling that I had when I saw that first MacIntosh, about how meaningful the impact of AI would be on society both positive and negative. But for what we do, I think it will have a profound positive impact on the things we'll be able to do in game development for our players. It will enable us to do things that we haven't been able to do for a long time."
När Kotick talade om bra sätt att använda AI-tekniken, föreslog han att Guitar Hero skulle ha stor nytta av detta, vilket ger hopp för alla digitala rockare:
"You know if you take an example of a thing like Guitar Hero, I've always had this vision for what a new Guitar Hero product could be but without having AI and then the processors embedded either in phones, in computers, or in game consoles that allow you to actually have the speed of processing to enable that AI, we've never been in a place where AI is going to have practical reality and applicability for games until now. And I think when you look out over the next five or seven years, the impact in game making is going to be extraordinary."
Exakt hur Kotick tror att Guitar Hero skulle förbättras av AI förblir en hemlighet än så länge, men vi får hoppas vi får se resultatet så småningom. Vi kan väl inte vara de enda som saknar kombinationen av plastgitarrer och metal?
Tack Kotaku
