Nvidia did not respond to Insider's request for comment. "Although he is an NPC, Jin replies to natural language queries realistically and consistent with the narrative backstory - all with the help of generative AI," Nvidia said in its press release.
Here's the technology in action in a fictitious game called "Kairos": These characters will also be able to generate facial expressions based on the audio inputs they receive, Nvidia said. Īdditionally, ACE is equipped with technology that gives NPCs automatic speech recognition, meaning they can respond to a player's speech patterns, according to Nvidia. The core principles of ACE are related to real-time conversations and animated facial expressions.ĪCE's large language models allow NPCs to have backstories, personalities, and goals, enabling player interactions that fit into the context of the game, according to a press release. On Monday, Jensen Huang, Nvidia's CEO and cofounder, delivered a two-hour talk about the company's future hardware and AI services to kick off Computex, the annual computer expo in Taipei.Īvatar Cloud Engine - or ACE - is a new custom AI service that can be deployed by game developers in order to make conversations and general interactions with NPCs feel more realistic. Over the past few decades, the graphics and basic dialogue of these characters may have advanced, but the interactions can still feel static and scripted.Ĭhip-manufacturer Nvidia plans on using AI to change that. Controlled by a computer, these characters range from Tom Nook, who runs the village store in "Animal Crossing," to Zelda, the princess of Hyrule and namesake of the Nintendo series. One video game alone can have dozens - if not hundreds - of non-player characters, or NPCs.
This announcement arrives as the chipmaker's stock is exploding. The tool could transform the way players interact with non-player characters. Nvidia debuted a new AI tool at Computex Taipei that targets the video game experience. Nvidia's AI could transform the experience of talking to video game characters.
