"Xbox Gets AI Characters: Microsoft's Latest Innovation"

Microsoft is partnering with Inworld AI to develop AI-powered tools for Xbox game developers, including an "AI design copilot" system and an AI character engine. These tools will enable the creation of detailed scripts, dialogue trees, quests, and dynamic storylines within games. Inworld AI's technology allows for AI non-player characters (NPCs) to respond to player questions and provide unique voices and personalized storylines. Microsoft is positioning these tools as optional aids for developers, aiming to inspire new possibilities for future games while respecting the role of human actors in the industry.
