EA wants to use machine learning to create real-time game narratives

“What we know about neural networks and machine learning these days is that you can feed [a computer] every poem that Emily Dickinson has every written, then give it a subject, and it will write you an Emily Dickinson-esque poem that to a layman like me is indiscernible from the real thing,” explained Wilson.

But what’s interesting about this particular pitch is the way Wilson described EA’s plan to harness neural networks and machine learning to tell dynamic, engaging, and highly-personal stories.

EA boss Andrew Wilson has been speaking to Glixel about the publisher’s plan for the next five years.
