The article from The Mercury News covers the highlights from the Game Developers Conference (GDC) 2024, where tech companies showcased AI-powered characters. Key points include:
- Nvidia’s Capabilities: Nvidia demonstrated the impressive capabilities of its chipsets, which are set to enhance AI in gaming[1].
- Convai’s Projects: Convai, a company specializing in AI developer tools, presented three projects. One notable project, “Second Life,” featured AI bots acting as guides in a massively multiplayer online game, capable of answering questions and interacting with the environment[1].
- Project Neural Nexus: This project, set in a cyberpunk world, allows players to engage in open-ended conversations with AI characters, adding depth to the gameplay experience[1].
- Privacy Considerations: The AI bots have long-term memory, raising privacy concerns, but Convai ensures that each bot has its own speaker profile and memory can be limited by time[1].
