Microsoft and Inworld are working together to develop Xbox tools that take advantage of artificial intelligence.
This multi-year partnership includes an AI design assistant system that allows Xbox developers to create scenarios, dialogue trees, and quest lines.
Haiyan Zhang, General Manager of AI Games at Xbox, stresses the importance of the best tools to create extraordinary games. This partnership combines Inworld's expertise in character development using generative AI models and Microsoft's AI solutions.
The toolkit includes an AI design assistant for text and dialogue, and an AI character engine for dynamically creating stories and quests.
Inworld also develops non-player AI characters that respond to player questions with unique voices and contain complex dialogue and dynamic in-game stories.
The technique can also be used in narrative and interaction with players. AI is an essential part of game development, and large language models and generative AI open up new opportunities in storytelling and engaging characters.
In addition, Microsoft offers these tools as an optional option for game developers, allowing them to determine the level of use of generative AI in their games.
The use of AI in creative fields such as game design may generate some controversy, similar to the problems faced by other industries such as film and television due to exploitative uses of AI.
Microsoft provides these tools as an aid to game developers in the same way that it provides the Copilot AI system for Windows and Microsoft 365 products.
