Google DeepMind takes stake in 'EVE Online' studio to test AI
Google DeepMind is partnering with CCP Games, the creators of EVE Online, to leverage the game's complex simulation for training advanced AI models.
•Google DeepMind is collaborating with EVE Online's developer, CCP Games (now Fenris Creations).
•The partnership aims to use EVE Online's intricate simulation environment to train and test advanced AI models.
•Researchers will conduct tests in a safe, offline version of the game.
Why it matters
This collaboration highlights the growing trend of using complex, simulated environments like video games to develop and test sophisticated AI. Games offer rich, dynamic, and data-abundant settings that can push the boundaries of AI capabilities in areas like strategic decision-making, emergent behavior, and complex system interaction, which can then be applied to real-world problems.
