Aims for more interesting NPCs

Ubisoft's Paris R&D centre is working with Nvida to explore the possibilities of generative AI within gaming.

According to Ubisoft the team is working with Nvidia's Audio2Face and Inworld's language model, fpr a project dubbed NEO NPC.

The idea is to see how players can interact with NPCs without losing the game's authenticity or the NPCs' unique characters.

Ubisoft's Senior VP of Production Technology Guillemette Picard said the drive for realness has led to a joint effort between artists and scientists.

He said that the core of all generative AI projects is to better the gaming experience, keeping human creativity as the driving force.

"We always keep our players and developers in mind when creating our projects. Generative AI is only worthwhile if it adds value for them."
