MicrosoftAnnouncePartnering with California-based artificial intelligence company Inworld AI, Xbox games can now create NPCs (non-playable characters) that interact with real people, giving players a more realistic interactive experience.
Inworld AI has previously collaborated with Unity and Microsoft's Mojang Studios to introduce automatically generated artificial intelligence into "Minecraft" to create more interactive NPCs. It has currently received investment from industry players such as Intel, Disney, Microsoft, Samsung, and LG.
With more extraordinary tools comes more extraordinary games. We're excited to see what people build with new AI-enabled game dev tools as we embark upon a partnership with @inworld_ai to make it easier for devs to realize their creative vision https://t.co/13rIn0Hbxk pic.twitter.com/XhRltaDPtS

This in-depth cooperation with Microsoft will combine the technological advantages of both parties to create a cross-platform artificial intelligence toolset, allowing game developers to more easily establish game character dialogue systems, story systems or mission content, and even use artificial intelligence to convert simple descriptions into detailed story scripts, dialogue content, etc., and even create NPCs with distinct personalities and greater interactivity.
In addition, to ensure safe use, developers can still fine-tune automatically generated content to avoid causing various disputes or content infringement issues.

Prior to this, Ubisoft also launched during GDC 2023 this year.An artificial intelligence tool called Ghostwriter, allowing the game NPCs to automatically generate different natural dialogues, while also allowing players to feel more natural when interacting with such characters.
