Technological Applications

Artificial Intelligence NPCs have always been the dream of gamers everywhere, with current games featuring numerous remarkable NPC characters. However, these are heavily reliant on elaborate game design, leading to exceptionally high development costs. For example, "Red Dead Redemption 2" includes over 1,000 NPC characters, whose creation took nearly 8 years and cost about $500 million in development.

At CES 2024, NVIDIA showcased its latest advancements using the Avatar Cloud Engine (ACE) technology. Every time players enter the game, NPCs can engage in different conversations and perform corresponding actions without the need for scripted setups. With technological advancements, AIMETA continues to pursue this yet-to-be-realized dream.

The key to training artificial intelligence NPCs lies in data - ensuring data security and the engagement of data providers is where blockchain technology naturally excels. This is why we have chosen the decentralized domain for AI training. Decentralized technology offers an innovative and effective way to implement AI NPC training, leveraging the immutability, transparency, and power of distributed computing of blockchain to secure the integrity and safety of training data. With smart contracts, an automated incentive mechanism can be established for players who contribute data and participate in training, thus stimulating community engagement and creativity.

We deeply analyze the needs of game NPCs, integrating technologies such as Large Language Models (LLM), Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), and Natural Language Processing (NLP) to create social behavior models and build an efficient, dynamic, and adaptive NPC training system. This ensures the realism and consistency of artificial intelligence NPCs, their dynamic interaction, and their ability to learn and adapt. Based on our reinforcement learning methods, it's possible to achieve significant intelligence in game AI with just a small amount of human example data.

In the future, we believe we can create more anthropomorphic and intelligent AIs, not only to enhance the gaming experience for players but also to bring revolutionary changes to game production perspectives and approaches. Game AI may become the core asset of the entire game, with the gameplay being co-defined by players and these AIs.
