Link: Google is testing Gemini AI agents that help you in video games

Google has unveiled Gemini 2.0 and is experimenting with AI agents that can understand video game rules to assist players. These AI agents assess the game's action and suggest real-time strategies.

The technology leverages Google Search, connecting players with extensive online gaming knowledge. This integration aims to enhance gameplay by providing informed advice and strategies.

Google's AI research includes testing on popular games like Clash of Clans and Hay Day. This demonstrates the capability of AI agents to interpret game rules and challenges effectively.

The idea of AI as a gaming coach is intriguing, although still in its nascent stages. Despite the potential benefits, there are unresolved questions regarding the reliability of the advice provided by these agents.

Google is also exploring the creation of instant virtual worlds with another AI model, Genie 2, based on image prompts. Genie 2 currently manages to maintain world consistency for short durations, illustrating the preliminary nature of this technology.

This dual investment in AI for both giving advice in existing games and creating new gaming environments highlights Google's deepening commitment to integrating AI with gaming. This endeavor points to future directions in interactive technology and gaming experiences. #
