"Google DeepMind's AI Learns to Play Video Games as Your Co-op Companion"

Google DeepMind has developed an AI program called SIMA, capable of learning and completing tasks in various video games, including Goat Simulator 3, by adapting knowledge from playing other games. The program, built upon recent AI advances, demonstrates the potential for AI systems to perform complex commands beyond just chatting and generating images. SIMA was trained using data from humans playing 10 different games with 3D environments and can carry out over 600 actions in response to commands. While still a research project, the team envisions AI agents like SIMA playing alongside humans in games and aims to make them more reliable for broader applications.
