The Next Era of Gaming and AI: And Why Were Even More Bullish on Games

For the last 20 years, the rise of the internet and online multiplayer gaming has enabled players from all over the world to compete against each other in real-time. The rapid growth of social media and video sharing platforms, such as YouTube and Twitch, also played a role in the rise of esports. We expect to see the evolution of newer tools, generative AI-based and otherwise, that will both supercharge existing mod capabilities and make modding easier. This will unlock new content mods (quests, characters, creatures, etc) and gameplay mods (equipment, combat, etc) alike.

It seems to me that the people who win are Google Cloud and AWS because we’re all just going to be generating stuff like crazy. It’s still unclear whether generative tech tools will eventually make modding a subset of the core game development or just reduce the threshold for more creators, but the outcome will surely be more fun for players. In just a few months, they have built custom tools on top of generative AI models that enable them to speed up and have a new creative companion in their creative design process. Azra has leveraged generative AI to build a Combat Kit Generator, a Character Sheet Generator, even a 2D → 3D Object Generator pipeline.

The capabilities of a generative AI system depend on the modality or type of the data set used. At NFX we are all in on Generative Tech, and you are too. So we’re open sourcing our market map of startups building in generative AI. Consumers love novelty, and are willing to adopt new behaviors faster. Just make sure to move fast and get a network effect. What that means for Founders is 1) you have to move very, very fast.

No one can block them from selling it or gifting it. This is an entrypoint for more players to become storytellers, but also the option for players to enjoy different versions of the games they love most. The biggest benefit to their gamers is that it reduces the cost to create content, which means gamers can expect to get more value out of the content in the game if they chose to spend money. Generative tech will create a wealth of new content that can only make in-game worlds more interesting and more engaging. That’s why it took months and millions to develop in-game items and scenes.

These aren’t cookie cutter copies, they’re beautifully designed, and unique to the needs of each user. A company like jasper.ai, shows us how this path eventually leads to zero-to-ten solutions. Jasper.ai provides specialized writing and image capabilities across disciplines (copy, email, social etc).

Using InsightFaceSwap (Picsi.AI) to insert yourself into any Midjourney image you generate.

Users should be able to swiftly import the objects into game engines, 3D modelers and film renderers for editing, as GET3D will create them in compatible formats. That means it could be much easier for developers to create dense virtual worlds for games and the metaverse. NVIDIA cited robotics and architecture as other use cases. According to the survey, people would use generative AI more if it was more secure and safe, if they understood it better and knew more about how to use it, and if it was integrated into the technology they already use. People who do use generative AI mostly say it’s improved even as they’ve been using it and almost 90% say the results of generative AI models have met or exceeded their expectations. I think the most impressive thing is that given 1–2 minutes of footage, someone entirely untrained in photogrammetry (me) can create a workable 3D model.

• It’s a one-stop shop for your firm’s writing needs in all formats.
• Generative AI has been around for a long time, with generative models dating back as far as 1972, according to Intel AI expert Ilke Demir.
• Snowflake is one of the world’s biggest “data-as-a-service” companies that, in addition to their analytics services, also offers a data marketplace covering thousands of topics, including healthcare, finance and retail.
• That’s good for the company but potentially bad for developers who might have worked on the game otherwise.
• Many of these applications might make some people feel uncomfortable at first.

According to Gartner research, business leaders are most likely to turn to synthetic data because of difficulties with accessibility, complexity and availability of real-world data. It also found that partially synthetic datasets – where real-world data is augmented with synthetic data – are more commonly used than fully synthetic datasets. Not only does this novel AI model shorten security assessments from weeks to mere hours, it also continuously improves efficiency with every user interaction. Recognizing the integral role of natural language processing and generative AI in transforming security questionnaires and driving automation in compliance tasks, the Vendict team wants to redefine the GRC landscape. The New York Times ran a piece recently featuring a handful of creatives who said the generative AI apps that they’re using in their respective fields are tools in a broader toolbox.

About NFX

Yakov Livshits
Founder of the DevEducation project
A prolific businessman and investor, and the founder of several large companies in Israel, the USA and the UAE, Yakov’s corporation comprises over 2,000 employees all over the world. He graduated from the University of Oxford in the UK and Technion in Israel, before moving on to study complex systems science at NECSI in the USA. Yakov has a Masters in Software Development.

We focus on companies located in the US, Israel, LatAm, and Europe. That’s exciting, but right now the only place where we truly see meaningful interactive entertainment is in games. They are the best model we have for developing and optimizing interactivity. We’ll see it first in business case applications, like training, field services, and collaboration. That’s the beginning of the shift that will eventually lead these devices toward mass market price points and use cases. First, it allows users to really own their virtual goods.

And you’re probably going to end up with five, or six, or eight, or maybe 100 of them. Generative AI is a type of artificial intelligence that creates new data, like images or text, by learning from existing data. It effectively visualizes and generates content to match what you describe and helps you create, explore, and push boundaries, opening fresh avenues for imagination, experimentation, and bringing ideas to life. The NVIDIA Research team that created GET3D believes future versions could be trained on real-world images instead of synthetic data.

It requires some tech know-how, but once you get everything installed it is slick and simple to use. Transforming video into images works well, with Python scripts supplied to do this. Once these are made, inputting Yakov Livshits this into the AI happens smoothly. Another LLM initiative is creating its Document AI tool that allows users to query documents – legal contracts or invoices, for example – and extract meaning for them.

You can create various daily activities that are each great for different types of users so that the game becomes by design better for each user. But what’s less obvious are the drivers behind the ongoing growth of gaming. There are evergreen attributes unique to games that give them an incomparable ability to grow fast – and there are also exciting new trends to pay attention to. A generative AI system is constructed by applying unsupervised or self-supervised machine learning to a data set.

Salesforce plans generative AI boost for ESG reporting with Net Zero Cloud

E-commerce providers, Netflix and Spotify all want to serve you curated products you’re most likely to like from their central databases. FB, TikTok and The New York Times have experimented with curating your experience of their content. To catch this wave as a Founder, you need to move this week, this month – not in the next 6 months or the next 3 years. Unless you’re on a rocketship already, in the fast moving water, I would pause what you’re doing and consider focusing on this. Supercharge your workflows with generative AI, bringing precision, power, speed, and ease so that you can focus on the strategic and creative aspects. Snowflake sells data to businesses via its Snowflake marketplace, which is one of the largest B2B data brokerages in the world.

Vendict founders Udi Cohen, CEO, and Michael Keslassy, CTO, set out to create an AI model that excels in security language. This unique AI capability combines high-level security assessment expertise with cutting-edge AI innovation, a first in the governance, risk and compliance (GRC) landscape. I think with most technologies, there is sort of an uncomfortableness that people have of [for example] robots replacing a job at an auto factory.

But the way to optimize any aspect of any game – including some of the creative aspects that have long been seen as “fairy dust” – is through data science. In addition to natural language text, large language models can be trained on programming language text, allowing them to generate source code for new computer programs.[29] Examples include OpenAI Codex. After we open-sourced our Generative AI market map a few months ago, we went to work analyzing this network for early indicators of future greatness.

But real data comes with complications – it can be difficult and expensive to collect and brings security and privacy obligations. But amid all this technology, CIOs in search of better energy use should never lose sight of the human factor. A useful question to ask, she said, is, can the use of AI deliver results that human analysis would not generate?
