Google DeepMind Partners with Eve Online Dev
6 May
Summary
- Google DeepMind will train AI on player behavior in Eve Online.
- CCP Games, now Fenris Creations, secured game rights back.
- The collaboration aims to explore new gameplay experiences.
Google's DeepMind has entered into a significant partnership with Fenris Creations, the developer behind the 20-year-old space simulation game Eve Online. In this collaboration, DeepMind will leverage the complex gameplay of Eve Online to train its advanced AI technologies. The focus will be on areas where AI has historically struggled, such as long-term planning and continuous learning, by studying player behavior on isolated servers.
This strategic move follows Fenris Creations' recent acquisition of the rights to Eve Online from Pearl Abyss. The investment from Google is described as being "in the millions" of dollars. Company executives have highlighted Eve Online's unique ability to offer insights into human behavior and societal dynamics, calling it the "final boss for AI in games."
Beyond AI training, the partnership also promises to explore innovative gameplay experiences for players, though specifics remain vague. This collaboration could pave the way for AI-driven enhancements within the Eve Online universe and potentially other complex simulations.
