We've spent over two decades building virtual worlds that are shaped by hundreds of thousands of people, with their own economies, politics, competition and history. That’s part of what makes our work with @GoogleDeepMind so interesting. As the field advances, the environments that AI learns from need to become more complex too. We’re excited to explore together where that complexity can take the research next!
Games have been an important testbed for our AI research for over 15 years. 🎮 From mastering Atari to reaching Grandmaster in StarCraft II, they have driven some of our biggest AI breakthroughs. Our work with SIMA taught agents how to understand 3D worlds, but learning to navigate real human dynamics takes a living, persistent universe. Through our research partnership with @FenrisCreations, we’re exploring how to tackle open challenges in AI: 🔵 Continual learning to acquire new skills without forgetting past knowledge. 🔵 Deep memory systems that store and retrieve information far beyond today’s context windows. 🔵 Long-horizon planning over weeks, months, or years. 🔵 Multi-agent dynamics spanning cooperation, negotiation, economics, and emergent behaviors. Our long-term goal is to use AI to discover entirely new gameplay experiences in partnership with game developers – making games more accessible and personalized – while applying what we've learned to problems in the real world and scientific discovery.

Games have played an important role in AI research for decades. Persistent virtual worlds introduce a different class of problem. EVE Online has more than twenty years of accumulated history, an economy driven by players, shifting political structures and decisions whose consequences can unfold over months or years. That makes New Eden an unusually rich environment for studying areas such as continual learning, memory, long-horizon planning and multi-agent behavior. Our EVE Online team explains more about the work, how research environments are kept separate from Tranquility, and the principles guiding us. eveonline.com/news/view/eve-…

.@EVE_Frontier is a persistent world built around programmability, player agency and systems that can produce outcomes we could never design ourselves. Today, Game Director FC Goodfella shares how that thinking is shaping our exploration of AI and autonomous systems with @GoogleDeepMind.
We’ve been exploring what increasingly capable autonomous systems could mean for EVE Frontier with @GoogleDeepMind For us, the principle is simple: intelligence should exist within the Frontier, not above it: subject to the same constraints of information, resources, risk and consequence. FC Goodfella shares more on what we’re exploring and why: evefrontier.com/en/news/ai-a…

The Hunt is On Dermestids have appeared on the Frontier. From 4-11 August, fleet up, complete new KEEP missions for Grace rewards, and help the community destroy 20 Dermestids to unlock 1,000 Grace for every participant. Dermestids will begin emerging near active players across the Frontier. Fleet up, track them down, and hunt them together. Coordinate your hunt: discord.gg/evefrontier

In our latest look at EVE Frontier, we were impressed with the modular shipbuilding, the detailed interiors for a Descent-like dungeon crawl experience, the dark fantasy vibes, and the detailed, twitch-based controls. Our new preview: bit.ly/3SZXZIc #IGNSummerOfGaming

It went under the radar, but DeepMind and the maker of Eve Online have formed a pretty fascinating partnership around AI and game universes. @demishassabis and @HilmarVeigar both seem personally invested @kyliebytes and I get into this, @midjourney's body scanner, the @AnthropicAI model ban, my date with @RafaelNadal and much more on this week's Core Memory podcast

Builders, riders, and devs had an amazing first day at Fanfest. The energy around EVE Frontier has been incredible, and it all sets the stage for the Frontier Keynote this Saturday at 14:00. A huge shoutout to all the devs in the Sui Builder Village. It's our first time having a dedicated builders area, and something that is amazing to see come to life. Day one was just the beginning. See you on the Frontier.
