Obnews Tech Desk: Elon Musk, currently the richest person in the world, recently announced that his AI company xAI will establish a new artificial intelligence (AI) game studio. Musk shared a post on X, in which he expressed his frustration over the acquisition of game studios by larger companies in the gaming industry. This is not the first time Musk has spoken on gaming. Recently, he did a live stream playing Diablo 4 and expressed his appreciation for video games.
Indication of establishment of AI game studio
Musk made this comment when he was responding to a post by software engineer Billy Markus. Markus, who is the co-founder of the Dogecoin cryptocurrency, criticized the gaming industry for being “ideally captured.” He said that gamers have always opposed the “stupid” manipulations that are done by developers and gaming journalists.
Markus also mentioned that the games he enjoyed in the last decade were mostly made by independent developers and studios. Musk responded to the post by saying, “A lot of game studios that are owned by big corporations,” and also said that xAI will soon launch an AI game studio to “make games great again.” Can go.”
Role of AI and possibilities in gaming
The role of AI has now become an important discussion in the gaming industry. For example, Google DeepMind has introduced an AI model called Genie, which can create endless 2D platform games using predictive analysis. In addition, DeepMind has also revealed the Scalable Instructable Multiworld Agent (SIMA), which can interact and perform different tasks in different environments of 3D video games.
Musk's statement comes in the context of game studios being in the hands of large corporations, just as a report claimed that Sony is planning to acquire Japanese tech company Kadokawa, the developer of Elden Ring. Owned by FromSoftware. Last year, Microsoft also completed the acquisition of Activision Blizzard, the publisher of big games like Call of Duty, World of Warcraft, and Diablo.
