Ubisoft unveils generative AI "NEO NPCs", and the spirit of Peter Molyneux's Milo lives on

The first involved a conversation with a character called Bloom in a slightly caricatured abstract from a hypothetical Ubisoft game.

Speaking at the same NEO NPC press briefing, Ubisoft boss Yves Guillemot described generative AI as just another new technology to be tested.

And behind closed doors, Ubisoft demonstrated something of its own to a small collection of the press: a partnership with Inworld AI to create a prototype for “Newly Evolving NPCs”, or NEO NPCs as Ubisoft calls them.
