In addition to AI agents, Google is also exploring the creation of virtual worlds using a "foundation world model" called Genie 2. This technology can generate playable worlds from a prompt image, although it is still in the early stages and can only maintain consistency for up to a minute. Both projects reflect Google's ongoing investment in integrating AI with video gaming, though they are still in the developmental phase.
Key takeaways:
- Google announced Gemini 2.0, which includes AI agents that can understand video game rules and offer real-time suggestions.
- The AI agents can reason based on in-game actions and connect to Google Search for additional gaming knowledge.
- Google is testing these AI agents in games like Clash of Clans and Hay Day to assess their ability to interpret rules and challenges.
- Google is also developing Genie 2, a "foundation world model" that can create virtual worlds from a prompt image, although it currently has limitations in generating consistent worlds for extended periods.
