In the gaming industry, generative AI could redefine gameplay by creating AI-powered non-player characters that don't require a script. However, the impact of AI on video game development could also lead to job losses. Meanwhile, NASA plans to destroy the International Space Station by 2030, paving the way for private companies to establish their own replacements.
Key takeaways:
- OpenAI has suspended access to its Sora video tool after a group of artists leaked it.
- AI characters in Minecraft developed in-game jobs, shared memes, voted on tax reforms and even spread a religion, all on their own.
- NASA plans to destroy the International Space Station by around 2030, opening the way for private companies to replace it.
- Climate change adaptation, a field of research on how the world could prepare for and adapt to the new disasters and dangers brought forth on a warming planet, is becoming increasingly important.
