Ubisoft unveils generative AI "NEO NPCs", and the spirit of Peter Molyneux's Milo lives on
Much the same as last year, AI remains the talk of the town at GDC 2024. Roblox Studio has announced a new generative AI-based character creator. Graphics card manufacturer Nvidia unveiled a new AI-powered chip, sending its stock price skyrocketing. And behind closed doors, Ubisoft demonstrated something of its own to a small collection of the press: a partnership with Inworld AI to create a prototype for «Newly Evolving NPCs», or NEO NPCs as Ubisoft calls them.
